Either you just confused yourself, or changed your position to agree

A typo. I have not changed my stance.

Perhaps you should. I know it's rather confusing, much like the
concept of "negative punishment", which many confuse with
"reinforcement", while learning the principles of opperant
conditioning.

I'd be happy to see it your way, if you were correct.

And for whoever was making the claim that this is too trivial to
concern ourselves with, reasoning that the novice will now lose by 28
instead of 29 seconds, is missing the mark completely. Not much
matters for the novice at all, other than keeping the round bit down,
and learning to relax a bit. That said, no point in making them figure
it out through trial and error, when it could be explained up front
rather easily.

I thought this was worth discussing because it could benefit the rower
at the highest level of performance, where there is not much room to
improve physiologically and technique is about it.
