To me this theory is BS and furthermore increasing trigger pulls also increases sear wear.

Craig, thank you for the mechanical explanation regarding front & rear trigger pulls.
Your statement however, is contradictory. On one hand you provide the mechanical explanation for a higher rear trigger pull (leverage) but then, call BS on the very same principal cited by another, that,
supports your explanation
Maybe you're simply saying an increased pull on the rear trigger is unnecessary? Can you elaborate??
