This is one of the best articles (if not the best) I read in recent years as I wrote there too.
It is written by someone who used to post here a lot. Our own Han Peters. (I hope he does not mind us calling him "our own")
If you missed it, I strongly suggest everyone to go and read it.
"Genius has its own limitations, however stupidity has no such boundaries!"
"It's only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence!"

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

Two conclusions:

1) (Low Informaton) Puppet Stayman actually leaks more information than Regular Stayman.
2) Blasting 3N is often better than using Forcing Stayman (instead of Puppet Stayman) in search of a 5-3 M fit.

It would be interesting to know if the ability to find 5-3 M fits via Puppet Stayman (instead of Forcing Stayman) weighs up for the informaton leakage in 1).
