In Vance Woodwards' excellent http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A412OGS/ref=docs-os-doi_0 "Addicted to Scientology" we find the interesting observation:I have never been a fan of "Study Tech" since I have, by now, easily enough experience as an avid and efficient reader to know that looking up every single word for which I haven't memorised every single definition is going to stop me dead rather than help me. However, I had not realised that the problem could go this deep and that the victims of the mind-fuck perpetrated by the criminal organisation known as the "church" of $cientology could give up on reading rather than continuing to wreak their minds,Also, there’s an overemphasis in Scientology culture on absolutely clearing up one’s misunderstood words. I call it crush-clearing. Basically, the emphasis is so strict, so over the top, that many Scientologists develop an aversion to reading altogether, for fear that they’ll encounter MUs that they’ll then have to arduously clear
I think that's sad, and I'm obliged to Vance for pointing out how bad things can go.
