Yes, and paint dries as if by magic while you watch.
In one sense RPM does have a point. Years of training do increase a rider's pain threshold, and I was once encouraged (by some one who had done a huge mileage of training and racing) to ride a 12 with the comment "You should look forward to it - it's a chance to spend a whole day on your bike."
The problem is that as you age you tend to develop pains in body parts you didn't even know you possessed.
