Very true. Also if you cut back or stop your capsaicin consumption the
perceived level of heat increases. So if you are a seasonal connoisseur you
will detect a (often big) differences in perceived heat from the same Chile
at different times.

One nice thing about extending your "heat comfort zone/Immunity" is you
will be able to enjoy the many new flavors so many different Chiles
provide. You will not be overwhelmed by the blast of heat and lose the
subtle flavors.
