How can anybody claim that overoptimization is bad?
It is simply impossible to cherry pick history data to look good.
I mean, who is stupid enough to test their software on ONLY one set of data just to look good?
I am sure, everybody is smart enough to test their software on multiple sets of data such that
the software can perform excellent with any conditions.
If there was a performance difference between your testings and your live data, there
must be some other factors: be it suspicious corruption or be it your own fault.
Your own fault, I doubt it. You are constantly spending time researching, testing, and
improving your system. I can claim this myself. However, if you are lazy and will not do your
own homework then it is most likely your fault!!!
Please don't claim that optimization is a bad thing.
NOTE: If you are a newbie and need help programming your strategy, please feel FREE to
contact ckingher@gmail.com anytime. I will do it for FREE because I got all the time
in the world. Just don't expect me to finish your project overnight though. It may
take 3-5 days for me to get it done.
No wonder you've "got all the time in the world".
