As soon as I clicked submit I knew that was too vague. I agree with you. It means don't just aim at the broadside of the barn, aim at the center - better yet, aim at the tiny little specific point in the middle of the center. Then if you miss that tiny little point you still strike near the heart of the matter. I'll try to do better in the future. @David – I am not sure if that means you agree or disagree
