Flippant reason:
I wanted to act the contrarian who spouted off “against the grain”.

Weighted reason:

I know you are an independent thinker. I also know you to react bemusedly when faced with a multitude of options. Therefore I suggest strict maintainence of what has gotten you this far — on your own.

I'm very relieved to find you weren't.
