Or, to be more specific, why do you suppose most folks here report that their efficiency goes up when they start crushing their own grain?
Obviously buying a grain mail can save money over the long run-- you can buy grain in bulk and even smaller amounts are cheaper if you gring it yourself.
But why can't/won't homebrew suppliers do as good a job as people can do with their own grain mills?
I have read posts here by folks who live near me who report that the LBHS I use does a crappy job of crushing grain. I don't know very much beyond the basics about crushing grain. Is it possible that people get good results at home because their grain mills aren't used very much and hence are not likely to be worn out?
