Rant: Did I waste 2 years using WinRAR wrong? Or is it better that way?

I ALWAYS used WinRAR to extract files by dragging them to a folder. Then last week a friend saw me do it and said that's the slow way, you should right-click and extract here. Now I'm wondering if I've been doing it dumb this whole time, but dragging just feels more controlled. Which method do you guys actually use?

Wait, hasn't everyone done this at some point? My buddy Mike used to double click the file and then sit there waiting for the window to pop up, took him forever.

Haven't we all been doing some stupid computer stuff for years without knowing? Lmao I definitely used to open WinRAR, click extract, and then manually navigate to my desktop every single time like a psychopath. But tbh dragging files out is kinda satisfying though, right? It feels like you're physically moving data around even though you're just clicking a mouse. Your friend is technically right but who cares, it's not like we're racing to unzip files for a living.
