     Wow, I will then.  He always seems to know exactly
where you'll screw up, so he explains what to do, lets
you try it, telling you that you'll no doubt get stuck
at a certain point, and that when you've tried it and
understand the nature of the "getting stuck" part better,
he'll then explain how to fix it.  He knows from
experience that trying to explain it first is a waste of
time until you've experienced the screwup.  Simply amazing,
most teachers don't have nearly this much insight into
the student's point of view.
