Good Book For rally suspension?

It may sound strange to some but I really think the proper order is drinking beer first, then understanding comes next.
Or drive car with good set up, then drink beer and then understand.
Problem is when we don't understand enough is that we can argue our way up a million dead ends that "seem" logic or "ideally it should be balh blah" but in the end you still gotta bolt them up, drive the car and feel what is right.
And clearly rally suspension for gravel seems to baffle most in the business who have paid the rent selling stuff to guys on some idealized surfaces.

REAL understanding always comes after experience, so one way to get real understanding is to get real experience.

Think of it this way: before you ever had your first REAL girlfriend, you probably had though a lot about the ol' horisontal mambo, hiding the zucchini, the 2 backed beast, etc......and fat lotta good all that thinking did once you had inserted the ligham into the yoni!
Afterwards you didn't think a lot, you just wanted to insert lingham into yoni as often as possible.. That was correct! Your body knew what was needed!

For those that skim, what I'm reading here is:

Step 1) drink beer
Step 2) drive car...or do this as step 1
Step 3) think about car's handling
Step 4) play hide the stick
Step 5) repeat steps 1-4 until suspension is dialed in.

Ran this by the wife last night.... Didn't work. Now I'm never gonna understand suspension, step 4 is a bastard.
I appreciate all the info and advice guys.

Fertilized can be a quick move to step 5, which often leads to selling rally cars or at least not rallying for a few years.
