Whoa, there, I hope you are Joe are buddies and you're just twisting his tail.
The discussion was not on doing mouthpiece exercises, but on doing them for an extended period of time. In that context, Joe's advice makes a lot of sense to me. For one thing, it keeps me from hyperventilating and falling out of my chair.
By the way, I'm a lousy player, because I have little talent and because I'm too lazy to practice enough or in the most effective ways. Does that make what I say necessarily wrong? Joe's or anyone else's advice stands or falls on its merits, not on how limited his market is or in what ways he decides to exploit it.
