@gregmat hi! Saw this paragraph, I tried doing it with function strategy
Of course, if we go line by line, We identify the HAMMER as the “it would be a mistake to think, however” - a perfect hammer right?
But the main idea is = not the hammer here, but there’s more to it

  1. So, should we still keep reading even if we find the hammer? it might be more or incomplete?
  2. is hammer not always equal to the main idea?

kinda fear wherever your strategies don’t fit in 100% ! what will we do w/o you !! then it feels maybe we’re understanding it wrong, or it’s not a one size fits all approach?

    3. In which case can we think that hammer isnt the one we caught, maybe?
