Why strict blocking
Most blockers fail because they can be removed in a few seconds, which turns every block into another test of willpower at the worst possible moment. The approach here favours setups where undoing something costs more than the distraction is worth — not to be harsh, but so that fewer decisions get made at the weakest point of the day.
