Why would you argue *not* to learn something?

Laziness most likely.

Why would you *not* want to know 100+ CLS algorithms? Why would you not want to know Full OLL, COLL, OCLL, CMLL, PLL, MGLS and all of ZB for that matter?

If you're looking for personal opinions here then, sure I'd love to KNOW all that stuff. Back here on earth I can see the stars but don't have the means to visit them.

How can you possibly imagine that knowing *more* about anything is a negative in any way?

There's plenty of things I wish I didn't know.

I dont want people to learn what im learning, so that I'll have the edge.

I've always wondered how many of the PROs do this. I personally like to share knowledge around, but if I was anywhere near good enough and it gave me an edge on the world stage then it might be different matter

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum I think where I'm very comfortable learning and understanding algs... I'm barely sub-20, but I DO find that knowing more helps me deal with the scenarios I'm not as comfortable with.

I SUCK at the G and N perms. They totally destroy my LL. SOOOO I'm learning COLL because I understand how to do edge control on the last CE pair insertion. I have done the G perm a gazillion times, and I know I need to practice it more, but in a solve "where it matters" if I can avoid it to keep my times down, I definitely will.

Knowing more algs for me, is simply a way of brute-force solving.

I know full OLL and full PLL right now, as well as a slew of F2L tricks... And I know practice will get me the rest of the way but while I get there, I'm very content feeling as though I'm progressing somehow by learning more algs

Once I get up to 200 algs though... I can see how that would be silly to try and remember them all successfully. I do have to say there's only 2 OLL's that I ever get stuck on and I just have to do them slowly.

(Sidenote: I find playing on hi-games.net really helps me remember my algs too. Makes me think about them instead of blindly applying them)

I know around 200 algs. <

It is indeed difficult. Im forgetting my olls, haha.
