"I was always under the impression that if you pull your meat at let's say 128"

Please state units. In en_GB (at least) "pulling your meat" is ... ambiguous.

ambiguous? I'll take the compliment, but there is no "us"

In steak/chop sized pieces, carry-over cooking of the center finishes very quickly. If you get a really fast probe thermometer like a thermapen, you can watch it in real time. The entire piece will have cooled sufficiently after common resting times (e.g. 10 minutes.)

Off topic, and please forgive the way my mind works, but having read your comment I couldn't help thinking that the interpretive ambiguity would be resolved if the unit stated was "pulls" per minute (128 ppm while vigorous, is still plausible).

Wow. Now I have to go back and watch Silicon Valley season 1. Thanks for the reminder.

"128 ppm while vigorous, is still plausible"

That's ~2.1Hz - Pretty normal. Perhaps get some soothing balm on hand, just in case 8)
