I agree with this 100%. Even after reading through the book twice, I was treading water in the ocean of knowledge that is TGM. I didn't learn how to swim until I learned the Flying Wedges.
This is my first post on the forum. Thanks to all the owners and contributors for the great stuff here.
When considering those Flying Wedges are we to regard them as more than just wedge shapes? Is Homer also referring to one or other of the functions of a wedge: lifting, levering, splitting etc.? If so, I've missed that and could someone elaborate?
