It may be "obvious" to you, but it's not obvious to other people. And sadly, my experience is that the kind of people to whom this kind of thing isn't obvious are also the kinds of people who need a lot of help seeing how to apply it when they ARE shown the priniples..... if you see what I mean. In other words - just cos it should be obvious, doesn't mean it is! :) Simon It may (or may not!) be common sense (which isn’t all that common, in my experience!) but like so many books and articles of this type, the devil is in the details….. :)
