     Rev. 3.12.78    AND ITEMS





EACH FLOW OF AN ITEM OR QUESTION IS CHECKED FOR A READ BEFORE 

RUNNING IT. UNREADING FLOWS ARE NOT RUN.



One of the governing laws of auditing is that you don't run 

unreading items. It doesn't matter what you are auditing. You 

don't run unreading items. And you don't run unreading flows. You 

don't run an unreading anything. Ever. For any reason.



Auditing is aimed at reactivity. You run what reacts on the meter 

because it reacts and is therefore part of the reactive mind. A 

read means there is charge present and available to run. Running 

reading items, flows and questions is the only way to make a pc 

better. This is our purpose in auditing. To run unreading flows, 

etc., requires the pc to run "analytical" answers or to "run" 

things that aren't there or to put something there to "run."



The most trouble you can get a pc into is running him on 

uncharged items or flows. For an auditor to sit in session 

watching a meter that didn't read, looking expectantly at the pc 

for an answer to an uncharged question, flow or item is a GAE and 

will wreck cases faster than anything you can do.



So you must check questions, flows or items before running 

anything. If it doesn't read, you just say "Thank you" and go on 

to the next one. You would, of course, use the buttons to ensure 

nothing was suppressed, invalidated or misunderstood before 

leaving an unreading item, flow or question.



This is probably one of the reasons that it has been observed 

that I can audit a pc for two and one-half hours and get the same 

result that another auditor might get in twenty-five hours. 

There's nothing mysterious about it. I never run a pc on things 

that aren't charged. And I don't miss reads.



I expect no less from you.
