Very Good points to emphasize, John. Particualrly for those who are going to hold on and insist how unique their "secret power" is.
I think the idea of pure information, on the spot, is as refreshing as feeling someone do it then explain it, isn't it?

I had someone once denigrate the training as "instant aiki." To which I replied "Instant? Most will not / cannot do the work that takes years to develope this kind of body." And that comment comes after teaching some 300 people. I have maybe a dozen who are any good.
Hard work *does-in* most wanna-bes.
Cheers
Dan
