I think the frustration comes from the fact that you received the SOLE honor of Shannon modeling the perfect amount of loops for you... and you didn't run them. Doesn't matter if he told everyone else to experiment with the amount of loops. He straight up told you what would work. Honestly, it does look a bit like self-sabotage, even if it's manifesting in the form of positive results.
