You've made this clear, but the significance of what you're saying is wholly dependent on the degree to which myostatin varies in most people. If people with excess or deficient myostatin are extreme abnormalities, it makes little practical purpose to say that Reach's advice isn't applicable to them, since advice like this tends to be made with most or possibly even the vast majority of cases in mind.
