Do you think Yiheng's success is assisted by his lack of CN, or in spite of it?

Spoiler: My vote

I think it is a factor in why he is so fast. When he only focuses on two colors, he spends less time looking for a cross, and spends more time planning his cross and F2L. IT could be why he is able to plan so much in inspection.

is CN for color neutral or competition nerves...

I think dual CN is better than full CN due to more inspection time being used to plan the solve that being said i do occasionally work to being CN

I think nearly everyone agrees that CN provides a benefit, but here's the question we should ask: How much is the benefit compared to the time and energy needed to master it?

Since it takes months to become CN I would say there are other skills with much higher benefit-to-cost ratio. Improving lookahead, turning speed, learning algs, etc
