Well that would be a sad thing indeed, if that would be what Mr. P would do. Seems sharing of experiences with WTL products among owners would be supported, otherwise, what is the intent of this circle?
On the other hand, I think that what staunch supporters on this circle might be reading into my experimentation as questioning Firebaugh's methods is not accurate; it's actually misguided. If a novel approach such as Firebaugh's works, why not try to figure out why?
In the practical sciences, which is my field, we run into this situation all the time: On the face of it, an approach may deviate from the "known", and yet still achieve a stated goal or outcome. If tested enough by trained individuals, then this novel approach might also become a known. Sound familiar? It's the scientific method.
Then again, others may not want to go down this road, which is completely understandable. But don't criticize my approach, it's not wrong, plain and simple, it's probably how Firebaugh himself arrived at his alignment: trial and error, observation of changes, comparing results against other trials, etc. etc.
