Interesting. The example that I stated in this thread involved a US nationally
ranked practical pistol shooter, who had the AD (some would say an ND) with
the Roederer magnum. He knew better, but had a lapse. Fortunately, no scar
remained, only embarassment and a very sore cheek. Fortunately, it didn't slow
him down for the rest of the evening, as we did a ton of lovely wines.
