glad to see this thread brought back up. A good reminder that there are other roads to Rome. I think the human condition is to be in a hurry and want quicker results. I also think we as a collector get bored with our koi after a relatively short time.
In the three year study, Dan Olson and I did with Toshio's koi, the ones that were allowed to experience winter caught up with their pond mates
that were held inside and fed. What is weird but I'm thinking on it, is....the koi were broken down by Toshio into what we could understand as single,double and triple A grade koi. We kept the AAA koi inside, protected and fed the first winter. The other two grades stayed outside. Quess which ones turned out the best for size and quality? It's really got me thinking.......
