Master of Disaster
Something I always wondered about, I got in in 1987,
was the re-issues of KSW, it says so on the KSW PL. So could that be a part of it, reissuing KSW. I don't know?
As cowboy pointed out up-thread,
You see, tech makes sense. It's logical. However it doesn't prove out. Doing everything Hubbard said doesn't deliver the promised results. So any new tech that others were writing in his name was based on flawed principals and thus it didn't produce results either. There were good and bad bulletin writers. Mayo was awesome. Wonderful, well intentioned man. Soothing. Tech might not work, but just his calmness, his listening, his sympathy alone was enough to help Hubbard through some of his worse times.
Hubbard knew there were no clears, or OTs, not in the sense of the word he promoted.
Hubbard knew the tech didn't work. He could not afford to have people openly commenting that "the Emperor had no clothes". Therefore he had to ensure that such talk was not allowed, and any lack of product was blamed on the auditor and C/S, and not on his tech.
