I don’t really think my preference for doing one thing over another equates to ‘talking out of my arse’. Also, take ‘a total mystery’ with a pinch of salt. It’s not actually.
When I had a mountain bike, I preferred to ride up tarmac climbs with my fork locked out. Merely a preference, not a statement on what should or should not be done by anyone else, or what is most effective.

The obsession with lockout is irritating to explain to people. Adjust your sag, ride it for a while, adjust your fast/slow, ride it a while adjust it again. There's your sweet spot. Lock out is simply masking a non existent issue. Do you see any other suspended vehicle with a lockout?
@JB No offense, but you're talking out of your arse, confirmed by your limited ' MTB is a mystery' statement. Lockout is generally counter productive like super high tyre pressure is and was back in the day. FOX 32/34/36's and even 40's s on lockout still have some damping to them, they want to keep the forks moving at the same time as you are.
You want to keep the tyres as attached to the ground as possible. That section on road isn't worth having lockout for.
Keep you tyres on the ground.
@amey dude, you bought some SID's and haven't even set your sag. Ya'allah friend. get your shit together.
