Just nailed the perfect chew on my bagels (boiling with a bit of honey did it).

Noticed this happens with so many little things. The exact right amount of honey in the water, a specific grind for coffee, even how you hold a guitar pick. Tiny tweaks most people wouldn't even think to try end up making the whole experience completely different. It's like there's a hidden setting for everything. Makes me wonder how many perfect versions of ordinary stuff we're missing just because we do things the usual way.

Miss every perfect version by sticking to my clumsy ways.

Wait, how you hold a guitar pick changes the sound THAT much? I've been playing for years and just grab it however (usually wrong, honestly). That's a tiny adjustment with a huge result, it's wild. You're totally right about everything having that hidden setting.
