Special Thanks
This update wouldn’t have happened without ElliotG from The Gear Page. He not only suggested a better way to visualize the data but also ran full simulations to show it was possible. His dedication and countless hours of work motivated me to move from single-knob plots to full multi-knob curves, which so many of you requested. Huge thanks for that contribution!
