I think you really need to think critically about the way you're thinking. Because somewhere you've drawn your own conclusion and stuck to it. I've looked up the last 10 or so topics about training and elasticity, and the only person recently claiming that DR creates elasticity for OD is you. Most posts say HA creates elasticity, and you're even commenting in those posts like (318368.6) and (316210.22)!

There are a couple of posts claiming both DR and HA create elastic effect for OD, and I found 1 post from last year that claims DR creates the elastic effect for OD (you also posted there). That's why you should be very critical with what you read, as anyone can post on the forums and make a claim. You are also part of this by copying such claims without veryfing the source, thereby and misinforming new managers that can also then misinform others.
It's not always on purpose, sometimes language can be a barrier. Like DR can also mean Defensive Rebounding, and if you're not aware that people mean Driving when they say DR things can get mixed up.

But there's no way that a majority of posts say that DR creates the elastic effect for OD, and I'm afraid you might suffer from confirmation bias that makes you (unconciously) ignore information that contradicts your current knowledge. Again I haven't gone far in the past to track where you first got the believe that DR was the elastic effect.

I get your request for people to step in and correct false information, but it's hard to stop because people keep posting false claims. I've tried to do it for some time, but I gave up. Everyone should do their part, and it starts with being critical with what you read and stopping to spread misinformation.

It's been ongoing for some time, as you said you even found a post from me repeating that since last year (plus I have been on this account for 5 years I think?) So it might go further back that I think.

Now looking back at the two posts you shared, I think I might have misunderstood some parts of it which added to the confusion. I do try to get sources verified, which have frustrated some players because quite a lot of sources that I was provided with were "trust me bro", for these I don't even bother to adopt them.
