Weighing pros/cons of low-basal shots would be a personal choice.

If you know the way I structure ACLs (access control lists), source code, et cetera, it's no surprise that I'd take a "belt and suspenders" approach to pumping.

But... such is my biased take. Others do what works for them.

I just thought there'd be more consideration of a hybrid approach.
