I wonder if we're being a tad rough on Neil? He's come up with something he believes works. And he has seemingly had some success. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone? That's okay. All teaching methods should be accompanied by the "your mileage may vary" disclaimer. :-) I once spent hours with Chris Michalek at a SPAH convention and faithfully tried his well known straw method. In despair he let me use his instruments. I still failed to produce an overblow. We joked about our respective failures all week. :-)
