I used to think that was a silly question too.

Feel your pain, man.

Baking would make my nerves way worse. All that measuring and waiting around. The cleanup alone is a huge hassle. I need to move when I'm stressed, not stand in one spot. A long walk or just putting on loud music works better for me. The kitchen is the last place I'd go to calm down.

Notice how often we trade control for convenience, like with arbitration clauses. Even with @aaronw59's point about appeals, it feels like closing the barn door after the horse bolts.
