Tom, if you argree with Gavin, then why are you teaching and doing a system
that 
is not only horrendous, but clearly not the most optimal. Why would you teach 
three methods, when two are crap? Maybe all schools should teach two wrong ways 
and one right way for everything. This is like going to the grocery store and 
having them charge you for what ever you did NOT buy, rather than what you did. 
What do you guys do at training committee meetings, acid? - G
