used to perfection =?

the Miami Dolphins are a football team

the wildcat formation is one of their offensive formations

The entire discussion is based on football analogies. Cross-tagging this with football might help get one of the sports language smarties in here to explain the analogies to you.

It's American football though, not Association football.

"handegg"?

I can't help feeling that if the guy (Dr Zong) dropped the "football" (handegg) analogies he could explain his points better.

Thank you all

Oristar, you titled this thread "used to perfection=?". Are you satisified that you know what this phrase means?

　　　　Satisfied, but not fully satisfied.

Who would like to explain the title for me?

It means that a strategy, method, or technique was used perfectly. A comparison is made between a scientific strategy for finding "tumor-igniting cells" and a game strategy called "the wildcat formation" used by an American football team, The Miami Dolphins. In both cases, alleges Professor Zang, the technique is used to brilliant effect. I am not sure if the scientific strategy is comparable to the sporting one in a deep way, or if it is just that Prof Zang thinks that both are very clever.

I personally don't think much of Professor Zang's communication skills.

Thank you
