I ask:
How did you learn to ride a bike? Did someone hold on to the
bike every moment you were learning? Did you not fall *at least* once
and scrape a knee or elbow? Apply this to theory to tech comm...
But the first time you rode a bike, your parents prolly didn't send you have
two dozen eggs at the local grocery store. The harshest lessons aren't
always the best. The original poster--(sorry, forgot your name!)--said Fake
Lisa was bright and promising. Why turn her off to tech comm just so she
"always remembers" the first lessons she received?
