Default Different cultures and crumb and blend?

what I am now wondering is whether it might be possible to attempt to

My humble opinion, for whatever it may be worth, is that you are way over

more on composition and handling of the dough and the conditions in the
oven than it does on the nicknames of the sourdough cultures used.

That is not to say that your photos and geographic name-drops are not
impressive.
