I don't think anyone who has spent more than, say, a minute and half with Paul could doubt that those quotations are accurate. You've captured his speaking style pretty much perfectly. I'm not surprised Lesson 11 was controversial. It's a paraphrase of GW management, um, doctrine, and probably the single thing most misunderstood by people here on first hearing. Paul probably could have spent a full hour discussing it. Of course, highly effective believers make the ideal employee. The point of the lesson isn't that you should hire less talented staff, but to highlight how poisonous heretics can be and that no amount of talent can compensate for that. That’s pretty funny.
