    Please don't speak about matters you know nothing about.

    You can argue it is boring, but don't bring unhinged nonsense as an argument.

    All it really serves to do is demonstrate the weakness of the case.
    I am currently a healthcare worker who has had tendonitis in the past and has to use ergonomic equipment now as a preventative measure. My best friend is also an OR Nurse, I have multiple other friends who work in healthcare, including an Osteo MD, to consult and clarify information with on top of growing up with healthcare professionals who taught me much. Needless to say, I have a wealth of resources to glean from on this topic along with my own experience and research on the condition.

    High APM activities are more likely to cause more immediate symptoms, but guaranteed, slow, yet repetitive movement is just as capable of causing repetitive strain injury that can take even longer to treat because the symptoms can go unnoticed longer. It's why office computer jobs are just as much at risk as jobs that are more physically demanding because the slower, but still repetitive action builds up in the muscle and tendons. This is why ergonomic office equipment even exists as a preventative measure to such conditions.

    But clearly I know nothing about a condition I've had to live with and manage for the last few years. Having to own ergonomic equipment and even see a physical therapist to treat a few years back because of the very slow burn tendonitis (it was a phlebotomy job for context) you claim can't happen in comparison to activities that are more immediately intense.
