ahhh the ol KISS rule. I think thats what was being argued here, we newbs need it simple, and all the graphs and the percentages get confusing to someone who hasn’t gotten it quite to natural yet. clearly what Munch was saying was a simple explanation, while perhaps not the most 100% accurate is better than the explanation thats absolutely 100% accurate, but so confusing to the newbie that he won’t get even a little of the understanding out of it. which is why many trainers have to dumb it down a bit. the goal being to get as close as possible to the correct answer in such a way that the newb will perform the action as close to correct as possible, rather than explain with exactitude but in a way that the newb would do the complete wrong action while attempting to make sense of what is to him, still senseless.
i made the mistake once of telling someone I was teaching to drive stick that technically you CAN start from third. I said this mostly to assuage their fear that they’ll accidentally put it in third not first and blow up my jeep. this was a mistake however as the first chance they got they intentionally started in third, spun the tires and hopped the damn thing. people have the amazing ability to hear only the first half of what you say and go with it. so I suppose the point was that while what was being said was technically correct, it was perhaps not the most correct way to put it for the new crowd.
