>psychology, we are _all_ applying PCT every moment of our lives.


Sorry to nitpick but I don't think PCT is something we "apply". PCT is just
an explanation that may be used to inform certain "application" theories.
Hugh Petrie gave a wonderful explanation of the difference but I'm not sure
of the date of the post.

I don't think we apply PCT in exactly the same way as we don't apply gravity
when we stumble and fall over.

Cheers,

Tim
