They looked at so many recipes and they can't remember which one they used
And by the time they go to test it they have been down another 100 rabbit holes and lost interest in what it was all about.

Then they show up to test this wonder load they can't remember in a rifle they had never shot any base line factory ammo in.
They can't remember the load size or powder used.

So there is a new kind of stupid that slots in before your Stage 1

I think that stage is entwined with the "little knowledge, overconfident" stage
Learn a little, then stoke everything up super hot cause fastest is bestest..... kinda thing
