I'm going to have to show that comment to my wife, it will crack her up.
But, of course, the best way to learn from a teacher (any teacher) is in person. Even then, with hands-on instruction, people will not understand something and will ask questions. With an online course, it's a one-way conversation... so the FB group is a useful way to reach out for clarification when it's needed.
The bottom line, for me, is that Adam's course is well structured, is pretty much as clear as it can be (given the said limitations of the format), has very good (and detailed) content, and doesn't offer some quick-fix/mastery-in-a-month progression. It's very clear that the method he teaches takes time, and will hurt a fair bit
On the FB group students sometimes post videos of their own, and that's really nice to see, too (allowing people to see how the skills do develop over time). I find that one of the most inspiring aspects of the group.
