Most people seem to attest to OT 2 before completing the entire check-sheet.
Some people, expecting more for their money complete it even when they *do* think they've achieved the 'ep'
The more disturbings bits of OT-2 are at the end of the seldom finished check-sheets.

Wrong word, Zinji, that might confuse some people. "Check-sheet" only applies to a course. The material audited on OT2 is named "platens". There are 21 of them. Some are short, but overall the amount of material is HUGE. It's not that it takes so long to read, although that would take quite a time. Each line is said aloud, a line at a time, and it is supposed to read. You say it again, it reads again. You say it again. It reads again. To start with, it might read 50 times. If one is actually managing to get reads still deep into it, this might get down to 6 reads an item. Or might stay higher. But it takes up a lot of time.
When I was working in the Solo Tech area at SH, I know of only one person out of hundreds who got through the entire "run", once through the whole shebang. It was a GOWW staff member, doing it in her study time. She audited daily, pretty much, maybe an hour a day. it took her an entire year. We were quite proud of her, actually--admired her. It was an achievement. The entire "implant" was supposed to be TEN runs through the entire thing. Maybe someone has done it, but it sure isn't common!
The EP is something like "all possible charge off the materials", which means when it just F/Ns and won't read any more that's it. It's a convenient EP, because some people can't run it at all and try as they might can't get any reads off more than a few items. Especially when not "set up" properly. Heh.
What "more disturbing bits" are you referring to?
