Since we haven't heard from every single player in the game whether or not they've looted weapons more than 5 levels higher than their level in a given skill, we can't know for 100%, but at this point we can know beyond a reasonable doubt that it is true. I have done my own testing on this and it definitely works.Nothing is impossible. And no ones right about a strategy. Until a developer weighs in it's just a unproven strategy that has shown to be more beneficial with the technique than some others. No one person is right just because of an idea based on a handful of other members.
And really, how silly is it for people to waste time not leveling up or skipping quests so as to not improve to a theorized level to AVOID getting a legendary? Something that is already very difficult for most people to even get a freeze? And we're discussing how valid such a strategy is?
Actually, the full absurdity of what this hijacked thread has devolved to just hit me.
P.S., a scientific theory is something that has been proven beyond reasonable doubt to be true (i.e., the theory of gravity, the theory of evolution). A theory is the highest level of certainty within the scientific method.
