Nonsense. I learned from Bruce Becker's Backgammon for Blood. I suffer no ill effects. (Well, except for the searing pain I feel in my head from the deconditioning therapy necessary to stop me from playing all my opening sixes from the midpoint. That and the 4.3 squazillion dollars I lost to opponents who realize that you don't have to keep hitting blots and helping out my backgame timing.)
