If you attend one of his schools, you will get his thoughts.
Let me say this, he gives HUGE credit to Mr. Kelley!

If someone is going to understand anything- you need to make sure you understand the context of any statement and likewise when you communicate - it's important to clearly establish the context of your communication.
Here's my take-translation- "Let me say this, If you pay to attend one of his schools- he'll give HUGE credit to Mr. Kelley in the classroom - at the school." " If he's out in public trying to "sell" himself, his ideas, his schools, he'll say that the Golfing Machine has fatal flaws." Because those without integrity- try to climb higher by walking over people.

elygc1,
i have not worked with mr. o'grady but i have heard his criticisms the golfing machine.
mr. o'grady says the book is 65% correct. i'm assuming that this implies that the book is 35% incorrect , and i'm assuming that the criticisms below, according to mr. o'grady , are the total 35% that he considers incorrect. it could be that he has other criticisms for the book being in his words, "tragically flawed", if so he might like to enlighten us.
the criticisms of the book according to mr. o'grady are:
1. there is no bibliography.
2. he doesn't like the terminology.
3. hitting doesn't exist.
these criticisms of the propositions of the golfing machine have the interesting feature that IF ; 1) we tack on a bibliography and , 2 ) we simply change words that signify certain concepts , and 3) we make the simple point that it is possible for a human arm to push against the clubshaft , ( i don't think it would take a team of "researchers" to study this in order to to verify the truth of this empirical proposition ,i believe anyone could test this for themselves .) THEN these criticisms of the propositions of the golfing machine are no longer criticisms . the book is now 100% correct .
thus , the criticisms of mr. o'grady are a matter of taste and misunderstanding
your golfing machine comrade in arms
p.s. comrade yoda , where did you get those icons with the bandanas and blood on them ? i would like to have an entire army of those little guys !

I thought I would answer your request comrade, lest you send your army of rambos after me!
