Oh Boy! Those poor misunderstood BT's. Sigh. Or is it just me? I go to VV and see David Touretzky being listed as #16 in the big bad SP list - and a poster has this link: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/StudyTech/ to David's paper on study tech. I'm reading this and grokking how: if you don't understand s/t Hubbard wrote, it's M/U's -- but in reality, what Hubbard's emphasis on M/U's is really saying is: Hubbard was never wrong, everything he wrote is correct, no disagreements allowed, and looking up M/U's is part of the suppression of critical thought, because if you don't understand it, it must be a M/U not a fallacy on Hubbard's part.
I am digging on that because I never understood why posters on this board felt so adamant study tech is evil. And now I am getting it.
Then... I read the following. --And this reminds me of Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant rap where he is in Whitehall street draft board and he turns over the paper, and there - in the middle of the page, apart from everything else on the page, quotated, is the following paragraph:
Kid,
On the OT6 materials it says there is telepathic communication in concepts between the BT and the Solo NOTS auditor which bypasses language barriers. NO F***ING M/US!!!! They understand the telepathically transfered concepts because concepts are (according to Hubbard) the precursor for words. Further, when you audit BT's on OT5 you are also doing it telepathically. You telepath the commands to the BT that the auditor tells you.
Was he F**ing out to lunch or what? He can't even keep his own tech developments straight in his own mind. Jeeze Louise!
You know, maybe there is truth to HH's law of Contradictions after all.
Maybe I am over-reacting - maybe he's not referring to nots and solo nots auditing, but boy, it sure got me going.

Kid,
WTF??"BTs can get Mis-Us from reading matter, foreign languages, and I
have found BTs that don't speak English. Where it really goes wild
is in auditing, where the BT has a Mis-U on the auditing command or
question. They would then answer the auditing question wrong to
themselves, causing a case hang up right there.
There is also a basic consideration that the Dead would not
understand anything anyway."
