No what I am saying is that there are currently 2 ways of getting to 100% hold on a planet.

Conventional wisdom says that a hold somewhere in the range of 25-33% will be quicker.
The same wisdom says that you will get more resources if you hold at 50%.

What some people dont realise is that if you calculate total resources over the whole period it takes to get to 100% hold
on worse planets it actually gives more resources to have the lower hold levels.
The fact that these resources come in the 15-22 year time scale also tends to discourage people from doing it.
"I would rather have an extra 50 resources this year than an extra 100 in 15 years time"

*Details
on a 50% HAB world you would (where you did the 50% hold) spend 9 years getting slowly more resources while the pop rose from 25% to 50% then 7 years getting 250 rather than 125 resources. You would then spend another 7 years getting 250 resources while the lower hold would have reached 100% and be getting 500 resources.
At the end of the 22 year period the 25% hold would have brought in approx 300 extra resources. However at the 15 year point the 50% hold would have had a lead in resources of about 1400 (which obviously it loses over the next 7 years).
*End details

What I have found is that there is a 3rd viable way.

Go to the lower hold limit (somewhere in the 25-33% range) stick pop in orbit for enough turns so that your pop on planet + pop in orbit = 50% hold.

Then let the pop overfow + the planet growth bring you up to 50% hold (which should be a bit quicker than getting up to 50% hold just using planet growth and might gain you back 1 or 2 of the turns you spent sticking pop in orbit).

Then just build up orbital pop as usual for a 50% hold until you have enough to fill to 100% (again this point will be reached quicker due to having pop in orbit earlier).

This beats the other methods because
A) It provides the largest amount of resources over the 22 year period. (beating BOTH other methods).
B) It doesnt fall
