So you're a visual learner and think that what a teacher can do for you is
minimal. Try to learn ballroom dance with a partner from a book forget how,
and then try to learn it from a teacher. I assure you that a lot of the
things in Torg may be explained by a teacher, but are most likely handled
with a very large amount of visual information, with people showing you how
it is done. The most obvious example is martial arts. And no matter what
you're learning, there is nothing better than having someone there to
tell/show you how you're doing something wrong, so that you can fix it. The
picture in the R&E book, and I don't know if its in the original book, but I
believe its in the skills training section, shows an example of this. I'll
post the picture somewhere once I get a chance to scan it today.
