    You reworded my comment.

    edit. You’ve lost your keys. You look in your pants pocket 500 times. Insanity, because you’re doing the same thing and expecting that this time the keys will show up, even though they weren’t there the first 499 times.

    You play “O, Canada” on the steel drums 500 times. Sometimes you play it through perfectly and occasionally you make a mistake. You note the mistakes. When you play it right you’re getting the result you expect, and if you make a mistake, you adjust.

      You claimed the opposite.

      • My original post was: Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is the definition of insanity.
      • You said “No, you are not doing the same thing and expecting different results”
      • I said “You are doing the same thing when practising”
      • You said “You reworded my comment”

      If you mean “saying the opposite” by “rewording the comment” then you are right. But to me, saying the opposite is not rewording.
