  • I agree with it being a symptom rather than the cause. Which is why, just like the case with Luigi, I don’t condone it but I don’t condemn it, either. He’s just a symptom to the actual problem going near critical status.

    On the other hand, it is also a symptom of the system trying to correct itself, albeit forcefully. But that means I’m also worried when the symptom doesn’t manifest itself when I expect it to because it could be a sign of a lack of corrective feedback.

    I don’t think salt modified the acidity, though. What they do is activate the salty receptors which share nerve pathways with bitter receptors, so you detect less of the bitterness in the coffee.

    Edit: I can’t find any reputable sources for the sharing nerve pathways part, but a couple of paper abstracts I found do show that saltiness suppresses our ability to detect bitterness.
