And also dilly-dallying around and not making the key points as saliently as he could, which makes me wonder if he really gets the totality of what he's saying.  Like when he says that you have to foreshadow and give tells to your traps, but then he admits later that if the trap is good enough to be enjoyable as an encounter on its own that well, those you wouldn't have to so cleverly foreshadow and provide tells to or make so predictable, it's like he doesn't really understand that maybe then you should be focusing on the traps that don't suck rather than trying to make the traps that do suck not suck quite so bad.</blockquote>
