Yeah, I personally floss as well, I was just quoting the paper that the previous person linked to refute his claim that flossing sucks. And I anecdotally agree with your points as well, would be nice to see if there are any publications that support them though.


Reminds me of a fun joke!
A constant and e^x were walking down the street. They see a differentiator coming, and instantly the constant gets scared shitless. The differentiator comes up, and as expected, POOF, the constant is gone. e^x starts laughing and says “nice try, can’t touch me”. But the differentiator tips his hat and responds “is that right?”, then throws off his coat and shows that he is d/dy.
