You're completely missing my point Kurt. When you said - I said I could get all 3 of those things - interaction, learning, and social aspects -...
Did you read the article I linked ? It proves, beyond a doubt, that info in catalogs, books, etc can be and is wrong. And all of the mistakes made...
Your post made me go searching for confirmation myself because it says there in your quote is completely different from what it has always been....
