Ken- It's a high level tolerance lesson to sacrifice good for greater.
It's kinda like when you learn to use the wheel and work for several days
getting down the technique. Then low and behold...a wonderous moment your
first
***************"KEEPER POT"!!!! **************tada!!!
Then the teacher walks by says.."lets see how even the walls are..."
swoosh...........slice...........flop.....the pot is cut in half
and you sit there with your mouth agap ,
staring at the teacher as they discuss with you the merits of evenly thrown
walls on your now ......sacrificial pot.
The anatomy of learning to take it all lightly.....................
Only the strong survive.
