Hi Yutaka,
Although I share many of your misgivings, a phrase written by Steve on his blog sums up the situation for me. He said:
“Only the good tutors will be able to keep their learners.”, and in that phrase I think he has pretty much hit the nail on the head. Of course there will be counter arguments to this, but it is difficult to deny the truth in what Steve wrote in my opinion.

Thanks.

You must really enjoy the word “errata” to keep using it so frequently, I having had to google it to learn it’s meaning.
