We are all still learning.
No one knows it all and there is still much about tortoise keeping that is debatable or unknown.

They still haven't found out the main cause of pyramiding have they lol

It's not certain, but humidity seems to be a major factor. keeping your tortoise at the correct humidity massively reduces the chance and degree of pyramiding, though genetics certainly plays a part.

Yes I know, leopard tortoise have quite a bit of genetic pyramiding but it's not grotesque

But keeping them hot and humid will stop pyramiding or reduce it to a minimum.
