The XY-wing 269 gives r5c789<>6.

I tried this one last night and it just fell to pieces with basics like an 'Easy".
The trouble is that you can never work out where you put in the right
number without a logical justification- the inadvertent 'lucky guess'....

W-wing using 69's with a strong link on 9's in row 5 yields r6c4 <>6 which also solves. This seemed to be one of the easier "very hard" puzzles.

I was referring to the times when VHs come out without needing any
VH techniques. Almost always, it's because I've put in a number
thinking that there's a logical reason, but in reality without any
justification because my reasoning was unsound. It's like any other
mistake, but involves putting in the right number by chance, and leads
to the solving of the puzzle.

The trouble is, you can't look back to find out where you went
wrong putting in the right number!

Sorry Marty if this explanation is as obscure as the original- I feel a bit like
Donald Rumsfeld talking about unknown unknowns (which incidentally
was probably the only thing he ever said that I agreed with!).

I understand. Many times I've finished a puzzle (not just those here) without using any advanced techniques. That always makes me suspicious and I start all over again.

Why doesn’t the XYZ-wing at R6C4 (wings at R4C6 & R6C2) lead to <>9 in R4C2? It seems to meet the stipulations?!

Welcome Keith. For an elimination to be made from an XYZ-Wing, the cell from which the elimination can be made must see all three of XYZ, XZ and YZ. R4c2 doesn't see the XYZ (r6c4).
