The idea
Descent finds a valley, not the deepest valley — big terrain holds canyons and saddles, and the truthful claim is a low point this walk reached.

Bold strides ricochet between canyon walls, timid ones inch — optimizers are engineering answers to terrain, not guarantees.
Where people slip
"Optimally trained" is a category error — though in practice the low points are often superb, for reasons partly explained.
