kinda, I agree, but as incontrol has already said, counting on being able to put your gates IN the mineral line is just not viable. What bisu did was basically a "one time thing" - not viable in general since people are then aware of the possibility. Probe block or anti-manner...
Also, because of the AI in sc2, I don't think manner pylons are as effective as they were in bw. (unless you somehow catch a shit load of probes/scvs somehow, but that shouldn't happen anyway).
Horang2 did it to Nada, so basically it could happen to anybody.

The difference being that Nada defended it quite easily and that early bs was only part of a later plan on horang2's part. That Nada went on to losing the game has nothing to do with the manner pylons and gateways. The reason I call it 'not viable' is that you're far from guaranteed an economical advantage by doing it.
OP I did this in 2v2 the other day. Quite hard to get it in the money line, but it is fucking hilarious to hear reactions to double manner gates in base. I love you.
Right before 1.1 there was relatively high rated 2v2 team that basically proxy 2 gated in base with the other guy going 10 rax reaper. Difficult to stop.
Scientific studies have shown that Intelligence has risen in developed countries and simultaneously belief in religion has declined. The obvious conclusion is that people are getting smarter; smart people tend to reject irrational beliefs, hence with increasing intelligence more people become nonbelievers. But a paper by psychologist James Allan Cheyne at Waterloo University suggests it's more complicated than that. But first, let's note that the effect is significant - in England, for example, church attendance has dropped to less than one-third of prior levels and atheism is no longer rare. Also, because many are reluctant to call themselves atheists but prefer "non-believer", there may be more atheists than what the many surveys show. Further, studies have shown that the effect is more pronounced amongst elite scientists - only around 7% of them are believers. Is there a connection between science and the rejection of religion?
I've actually tried this in a PvP a week ago on steppes. The guy left as soon as I placed the first manner gateway. It probably won't even work half the time but it's great for few laughs.
