Had a curious card combo come up in a lesson today I haven't seen before. Say you only need three tricks from this (assume no entry or tempo problems which actually was the case on the actual hand):

Run the nine, then run the 8. I think.

This picks up any 4-1 split (3-2s we pick up for free).

I might be missing something but isn't it same also if we start 2 from A42 and cover whatever RHO plays, and then play 9 from hand and cover whatever LHO plays ?

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
