Not quite. You can still read this, so it isn't exactly white, whereas this text is.

Why did Ben get banned for making a video for me? I never actually requested it.

It just wasn't a very nice thing to do, I guess. Did you see the original thread? It was basically a complete mockery of everything you've asked about how to be sub 20.

On those DNFs, did you go back and figure out exactly where your mistake was? I'm wondering how you can be so sure that you didn't make any mistakes in your memorization. And if it is the case that your memo is perfect every time and you still haven't gotten a success, you really should do some sighted solves with your BLD method to figure out what you are doing incorrectly in execution that is failing to move the pieces in the way you think you are moving them.

I guess his video was stupid.

It wasn't just a video; it was an entire thread.

If you couldn't tell, he was passive-aggressively insulting you.

Actually it's pretty smart
It basically tells you that you don't need to have the best of everything just to be sub 20, a decent fingertrick, a decent lookahead, a decent use of inspection, a decent knowledge of the method you use , and a decent turnspeed you should be able to be constantly sub 20
You can definitely gain all these by simply practice
A sub 30 cuber should be able to grasp all of those simply by practicing a few weeks, probably another month should be enough

The whole thread was actually pretty interesting but the fact that it was targeted at PJKcuber (sarcastically but still) was not okay

Where is the thread? Already deleted?
I agree. He proved misconceptions that new cubers have, Like they cannot get sub 20 with lbl and 4lll.

Yes, it was deleted, despite the fact that if you could see it was sarcastic (which it so obviously was) and did the complete opposite of his advice, it was actually helpful.

The text that Ben wrote on that thread can be found somewhere?

I have it, but I don't think I should re-post it; it was deleted for a reason. I showed it to pjkcuber, but I'm not sure whether I should show it to other people.

Most of the time, it was because of an execution mistake or memoing the wrong piece. I basically split a blindsolve up into 4 parts: decoding (actually getting the information from the cube) encoding (making journeys, rooms, etc), recall (recalling the information) and execution (exactly what it sounds like). The only things that really have to do with memory is the recall and encoding part. But either way, if you forget one letter pair out of 40, and your memo isn't "perfect", would you say that you don't have the memory for 5BLD? There's so many places to go wrong that just remembering stuff is the easy part. I could remember a bunch of letters proportional to the number of targets in a 5BLD and just execute them on a randomly scrambled cube, and I would get a DNF. The memory wasn't the issue there, obviously. Overall, what leads to a DNF are mistakes, and as long as you don't forget an entire section of your memo, you still remembered things.

exactly, i agree with this one.
Like i posted this a few pages back, even though he used his whole hand to turn it, it still got him below 20s
might be his lookahead and fingertrick?

How do you orient corners on 2x2?

That isn't at all the point I was trying to make. You said:
If your memo was not completely correct, then you did not succeed in memoing the cube. If you made a mistake in what you call "decoding" and memorized the wrong letter/piece, then you have not even memorized the cube; you have memorized a different scramble that you don't actually have in front of you. The fault in that bolded phrase is all I was pointing out with my earlier post. Yes, of course you have the memory capacity needed for 5BLD and the ability to get successful solves.

What? All I said to that guy was that getting a success isn't much attributed to how much you can memorize. What I meant was that I have suceeded in recalling the information of the cube. You can debate technicalities in how I worded things all you want, it's really not that important.
I don't really understand what exactly you're trying to accomplish here. This is the one answer question thread, not the flame-the-answerer-of-a-question-thread.
