So SWIM believes he has exhausted his ability to imagine what someone who has never done the tek before would be thinking while reading it.
Because of that SWIM requests help from the nursery members (though not exclusively, mainly) to get some perspective on the tek's clarity.
SWIM is aware that the tek is "bulky" to some so the focus (once again, mainly not exclusively) is not to add loads of clarifications and intermediate steps but alter wording or moving information around to make more sense.
So the basic request is of the nursery members, the newer the better in some cases.
Q21Q21's Tek
1: Read the tek (either Intro and Tek 1, Intro and Tek 2 or full Tek) with a paper/notepad document ready
2: On the first read-through note where any confusion occurred.
3: Once done the first read-through. Note whether the confusion was from:
1.Missing information
2.Assumption of knowledge which is explained later
3.Other
4: Re-read the tek and:
Make sure said missing information is actually missing and if it is suggest placement for it.
Think of a resolution to the confusion in Assumption/Other issues.
5: Post Step 4 notes in this thread.
SWIM remembers the first time he read some teks despite their simplicity he was very confused, it is likely not possible to alleviate all confusion over the tek for a first timer but to get as close to that as possible is the goal.
Thanks.
