yes, bunny, some floaters are worse than others.
preparation for floating also needs to be considered. consider this scene, and relate it to chess (since this is a chess site, after all). this *player* would like to "win". but, he does not, because he does not know the ways of the other player! he simply does not know the waves of pushback that the water is capable of. the failure here is an example of what would happen if i played chess against a titled player.
*snip-a-roo* it's fine if you are a regular floater!
but some floaters just aren't regular
