> Having the CF skill “lag” seems to be what makes it efficient and reduces your error rate. I think lagging means that your CF skill is a significant amount of points away from your prerequisite skill. If your CF skill was really close to your prerequisite skill then I don’t think it’s lagging anymore. If you leave it like that and try to learn the skill, you’ll be using a lot of resources and make way more errors

Yes.

Overall it looks like you’re figuring some things out and writing a lot of posts is working for making some progress.

I also noticed that, for some stuff I commented on, you figured it out more later which I hadn’t read yet.
