The thing is.... I agree with some of the critique around what we teach. For instance, it all goes much better if you can go a little faster. Not everyone can/wants to. But I still think that our syllabus is the best advise we can give despite that sort of thing. A slow potterer will still have a better time following our advise then doing anything else. They will have an even better time if they can go faster though... ;-}
While I am all for getting everyone to HTFU... I just know that not everyone will/can. I feel it is sadly true to say that cycle training is THE VERY LEAST that the powers that be can do. It is certain that we help people on an individual level though and I ,for one, am happy with that.
