I take my ideas from this forum

, ECO, different databases as chess base, chess assistant and......,but you will not find a lot of material about the "chaos" we are talking about.
So you face a huge field for proper thoughts and that's exactly what I like.
Second:What is written today can be refuted tomorrow. Look for example the april update in this forum, where i find a strong idea OTB in the owen defense with 8.Nb5 and 9.Qg4. Before this, black had an equal position and even some IM's gave the variation some exclamation marks.
So, what is equal ? What is slightly better ??
Third: Don't we all make the same mistake in just looking for variations with a clear advantage for the colour we like to play and where an equal position after x moves is allready critical

?
I have a deep respect for fluffy, not because he is on my side in this topic

, but for his original analysis in his latest works.
In his books, we see also unclear, slightly better or critical conclusions.
So when he writes: come on it's a clear += , I like to know why and where I missed something.
