Er, I think your maths is off, so maybe it’s not quite as foolproof as you suggested? In any case, what if the variation is in the middle of the ride?
if I have a 175 crank, and place a 2.5mm shim under my cleat, then while the crank is higher/lower, my foot is surely in the same place as a 172.5 crank, no?Only at the bottom of the pedalstroke. At the top it’s 5mm higher – 2.5mm extra crank length plus 2.5mm shim.

what do you mean by misuse of chains though ? other than cross gearing and its arguable how bad that is, what else can you do to chain to misuse it ?

I once did the comedy slo-mo fall because of this (screw hadn’t fallen out entirely but was no longer holding the cleat in place) – stopped to check out what was happening and only realised too late that I couldn’t unclip it.

Excellent and inventive range, local ingredients, garden outside for the sunny days, with plenty of room for bikes – only drawback is the slices of cake are hyooooge, and could make riding home after more of a challenge.
Why would you need a bluetooth bike pump???So that you can update it’s firmware from your phone, obvs.

Ive certainly witnessed/experienced hatred direct towards me just as a cyclist, whilst there was utterly no possibility that the person could have been enraged, angry about anything, they reacted simply because I was riding a bike.You’re assuming that the source of their anger or frustration would be immediately obvious to you. It could have been that something happened 10 minutes before you encountered them and they’re still wound up about it. Or it could just be that they’re generally wound up/angry. And coming across you just gives them a lightning rod to channel that anger/frustration into.

I don’t believe that 99% of road rage is anything like as considered as most of this suggests. It’s largely an emotional outburst.
Driving is an activity that is often frustrating, without any obvious or immediately accessible cause of that frustration towards which it can be expressed. So some people vent it on whoever happens to be around them, and the more you stand out, the more likely you are to be a target for that venting.
Cyclists tend to stand out because there a fewer of them, and they’re doing something different to the subject, so they’re a ready target.
Everything else is just so much post hoc rationalisation.

Generally no harm nudging the intensity up or down a little if it feels off. FTP should only really be a baseline guide anyway – need to find what works for you, given your personal abilities, and taking into account your current health, restedness, the time of day, etc. That might mean nudging it up on certain types of session, and down on others. Some experimentation to learn what works is a good thing.
