Nahh... some people have a knack for making things harder than they really are. And most people deserve more credit for being able to figure out without being told every detail what works for them and what doesn't.

Like teaching someone to read, for example. You don't start out by describing to a six year old hard-to-grasp concepts like sentence structure, syntax, past participles and the like. You don't have a student read the dictionary first to familiarize himself with every word he might come across during the course of his life.

You teach him a few easy words like "See" and "Spot" and "Run" and you give the student an easy book to read like "See Spot Run" ...and you let him read. Sort of like giving someone a guitar, teaching him "G" and "C" and "D" and then let him listen to "Blowin' In The Wind." Wow - what a novel concept: learning by doing.
