Saying that some of the YFers were gymnasts means nothing, because non-TM gymnasts cannot duplicate what you see in YF. Also irrelevant is that some YFers get winded, because they are pitching in more effort than others, but there obviously many YFers who are not winded after extended practice, an impossibility for non-TM gymnasts. ------------------------ Yahoo!
