I agree with another person’s comment that #11 is not necessary. Its nice to have,but considering all the elements going into SM and the increased risk of resistance for adding more on,I think its something that can be kept off. In fact,it almost seems non-alpha. I don’t want a side-effect where I start to worry about what other people think. In fact,I would rather be the opposite and not worry about what other people think.
I think #13 can also be kept off simply because it is a personal issue with certain people. I do think it can be dealt with in a different way where it can benefit the inexperienced and the rest of us. I analogize it to 2 people on a staircase. One person is at the bottom of the stairwell ready to trek upwards and another person somewhere in the middle. They basically have to do the same things to move upwards,such as take step with one foot and take another step with the other and keep repeating. It’s the same skill and performance needed for both people,no matter whether they are at the bottom of the stairs or somewhere in the middle. So, for #13,I would just identify and include skill and performance scripts that helps a person,no matter if that person is at the bottom or middle of the stairway. However,if the person does not know how to walk up a stairs,I don’t think that should be taken care of within the purview of SM. In my mind,SM is an AM for the advanced player. SM should be based on the assumption that the person already knows how to walk up a stairs (even if wobbly). Otherwise, that person should obtain a precursor to SM which covers that issue or receive separate instruction separate and apart from subliminals.
