My friend's family all dreamed of the same broken clock.

Seems like a pretty low bar for a "big win" though.

Reminds me of my neighbor's truck that would barely run. He was ready to sell it for scrap. Took it on one long trip and it's been fine for months now.

You're right about the wording being tricky. The part about "listening for the right signal" is key, but I'd add that the horse's whole body tells you more than just the hoof. If you only focus on the foot, you can miss a problem higher up in the leg or shoulder that's causing the bad stance. You have to check the whole animal, not just the part you're working on. Otherwise you're just fixing a symptom and the problem comes right back.

Yeah it's wild how many things are labeled one thing but made of another. I see it all the time with "cotton" socks or t-shirts that are mostly plastic. Feels like you have to read the tiny print on everything now just to know what you're actually buying. Makes you wonder why they don't just call it what it is.
