Yeah, I think a lot of people said that on the first page, myself included. But lets not paralyse ourselves into not adjusting until we have 10k hands and a rock solid read. Maybe I misunderstood, but it seemed like Savy was saying we should be wary of adjusting early as we can lose a lot if we adjust wrong. There are plenty of spots you can make a +EV adjustment based on a small number of hands or even a population read. As an example, I will tag a player as loose passive if I see them open limp a single hand pre. I will then treat them as a loose passive until given reason to think otherwise. I don't see any reason why adjusting early and being wrong some % of the time should be a terrible thing (unless you are making hugely over the top adjustments).
I think most of us are saying largely the same thing, but my take on it would be
1) Adjust early and adjust often
2) Don't use GTO as an excuse to stop paying attention to villains tendencies.
