It seems like trainers can't discuss different methods without running the risk of getting called out for not providing an arms length bibliography.

Theres nothing wrong with discussing concepts but when someone asks you for YOUR thoughts and you start giving them a detailed explanation of someone's work, how hard is it to say where it came from?

Clearly we can see that he has no trouble naming Alwyn, so why not name Lyle? Its not set that you have name every theory, but his choice of theories named reinforces the circle-jerk impression that these gurus give off.
