Hi Tim. I read his book and also used Black Magic software trying to convince a youngster that RDSS is better. The 2 excuse method is similar to what Mitch and I have been using for yrs except we only need 1 to go back past a line. It has worked very well for us. Just be careful as to what you consider a valid excuse. I also added to my list not using lifetime best lines for older horses[5up] and I'm leery of using speed ratings on younger horses that are more then 5 points then anything else in its chart especially if it's not the last line. If it's the last line I look for a reason such as dist,trainer,equipment ,or surface switch. If I don't see 1 I look for it's next best line and see how both rate in RDSS. I find legit contenders usually have multi lines that keepthem in the top 3.
