>understands it. . . . This is the old "don't go past a misunderstood word" crap. I am sure that anyone who has ever learned something on his own knows that the real world is different. People can (and must) perform without knowing 100% of the material.

IMO, Children who would really follow this procedure will perform poorly and finally learn much less than children educated by real teachers. The best proof against LRH's "study tech" are himself (flunked college) and Damien Miscavge (high-school dropout).

"Sky" Dayton has probably not applied the tech correctly, that's why he is "successful". And he hasn't told us whose money he is investing in EarthLink.
