very good point! a lot of people dismiss beginners too quickly. often they will have interesting insights because they see the MA with fresh eyes.

Dont forget that trying to explain things to a begginer helps uslearn. The simple task of teaching a beginner is anything but simple.

All of a sudden you have to start analysing yourself and your techniques. Then, when they do everything you told them to and it still doesn't work, you then have to think even more and find out what it is you are doing that you didn't realise you were doing but is actually the key to the technique!! Think that makes sense
