Hey, you clip an important rule here:

" Analysis should be done *without* a
computer, you might want to check it with a computer *after* you think you are
done."

When this is applied to 8, this is the most important in all training books I
have read. When the computer part isn't said explisit it is because the author
thought this was obvious.

It is very important to get to know yourself and in what part your 'blunder' is.
