I would propose that even though us chaps made the best attempt we could by trying the program ourselves, with whatever level of reading and visual comprehension we have, was still not necessarily wasted time. I am someone who loves to try to coach anyone who will allow me, basically. And I wonder if there was some advantage to have done it wrong, and then gone through the hard work to correct my own shitty form, which will make me a better coach in the end? This is, of course, an inefficient use of my OWN time for my OWN training. But does anyone here think that perhaps the journey might have some value?
