    I always compare copywriting formulas to recipes. A good recipe is better than no recipe, but ultimately, when you understand the principles of flavor, you can make your own original recipes that give people something totally new and different. similarly, a good formula is better than no formula, but ultimately, learning the principles behind the formulas is more powerful, because it lets you generate your formulas that will appear more original and will therefore hook attention.
