When you speak of your criteria for making full customs as being reasonable enough to work, what would be an example of a full custom idea that would not work?

I once had someone request a subliminal to give them ZZZ cup size breasts. I am not sure how much they were kidding, but they put their money where their mouth was and paid for it. It was quite a challenge to get them to understand that it is just not possible to exceed the genetic potential for breast growth through a subliminal. I cannot break the laws of physics.
Another example would be a title that attempts to simultaneously manifest too many things (like, two or more). Or a program that attempts to do things that contradict one another in a mutually exclusive fashion. And so on.
There are limits to what can realistically be achieved, even if my research is constantly amazing me with regards to the difference between what we think the limits are, and where they actually are.

Assumptions, assumptions. I do not build what I know will not work. I did not build that. I refunded the person's money.

Not really. Above all, people don't want money. They want happiness.

This exactly. As long as I'm financially stable enough, what I want is to be happy. Enough money to be stable is part of that, but I wouldn't necessarily want more money than that especially if it was at the cost of happiness like it is for MANY people who are rich.
I doubt actually that I'll ever even want to use BAMM. I just don't feel like that is a reasonable measure of success to me.
