Secondly using bare hands to pull weeds of any kind is stupid.

Well, no, it isn't. Using chemicals to kill easily pulled weeds is
stupid. Crabgrass, however, isn't easy to deal with by hand.

If it is, I guess Shepard just called me stupid. Pulling weeds after
a soaking rain will help prevent breaking the roots. What is so nice
about this technique is that no special tools are needed.
