That bit on clinker-built planks making the hull flex but stay tough hit me. Same vibe in stacking: simple, proven design beats hype, and your line about staying away from futures unless you can accept delivery is just rite for my risk notes. As a numbers guy I care about cashlfow and storage, so the leather pouch touch is practical and kinda fun :) This was a clean reminder to keep it physical and skip the leverage tourists, lol.
