I don't think it is misunderstood... You have to know about something to have a misunderstanding about it. Most gym rats don't even know about it.
I have never touched it or even considered using it because of the reported idea that it is directly estrogenic (doesn't need to aromatase). An AI can't touch that. I believe there are far superior developed steroids than MD but since I know about it I could be misunderstanding it.
I was a huge self-experimenter! Despite my curious nature there were some things that I did not spend much time researching or considering. I think MD was a quick blip on my radar screen knowing that there wasn't anything very exceptional about it on paper. Just the idea that it could be directly estrogenic made it unappealing to me.
