- the characteristic of the rough pc is not a pc's tendency to ARC break and scream but something much more subtle. The pc who makes no gain is the pc who will not as-is, who will not confront, who can be audited forever without cogniting on anything. The person whose "thought has no effect on his or her bank" he's been remarked on by me for years. This person is so afraid to find out that he or she will not permit anything to appear and therefore nothing will as-is, therefore, no cognition. (HCOB 15 Mar 62)
