On the plus side... It sounds nice to not have to think.  You've got someone who's responsible for what you do, how to do it, how to practice, overall plan... You just have to show up and do what they say.

Sounds rather like the embodiment of the quote in your signature: "There is no expedient to which a man will not go to avoid the labor of thinking."

I don't think anyone on this thread is actually making any serious conclusions based on the article. You're being too quick to throw around a fallacy.  ::)

It's just a thread r o f l

I agree that the article is pretty crap. No citations (except for the copy and paste pics), no data...just a hyperbolic headline with a few "sad" pictures. Oh god  ::)

Such as a little torture.  Haha.  If someone else is pushy and controlling about your own practicing though, then they're responsible to some extent for it.  So... failure?  It's part theirs.  Success, part theirs, but it will still feel good.
