Geoff:
If the person charged with teaching Harry the required skills had 
done his job properly and in the right frame of mind, the situation 
would not have arisen. I remarked in an earlier post that the method 
used with Harry was akin to throwing a non-swimmer into the deep end 
and walking away. There has to be a starting level and then a 
learning curve - steep maybe - which will equip the trainee to handle 
the real life situations.
