The cost was small, Friday, so I knew any loss would be small. That doesn't
apply to NLP, where everything is expensive, and the buyer's loss is
always large.

A more plausible explanation is the claims of the manufacturer were
fraudulent.

Whether some people are visual, others auditory, and others kinesthetic
is nonsense, but it is perpetuated by the NLP crowd because it sells.
Since NLP is a commercial business, selling is what's important.

How then do you explain a blind man like Stevie Wonder writing music
filled with visual lyrics? Listen to the words in his song "I Just
Called To Say I Love You."
