At $40 a pop (plus shipping), probably none as profitable ;-)

keep em coming
True.
But how about a lesson at $400 a pop? And I know where this is going....the dvd leads to more lessons.....I would safely say he has enough lessons without the dvd. Besides, I bet it was a pain in the ass to make that dvd anyway.
I'm pretty sure that was Lou's point - to satirize what Stan said in his post (see the highlighted part above).

It would appear so. Good looks.

Here, let me take a shot at your kind of thinking:
Stan choose to make DVD that was incomprehensible and purposely doom the student to failure on several levels.

I think Lou choose not to succeed at CTE is Stan's point, and it is very obvious since Lou dismissed it so easy. All I'd like to see is people give it a fair shot at the table, not in their head. try it with an open mind.

I'd like to see CTE users give up this nonsense idea that nobody can have a valid opinion about CTE without thoroughly "learning" it. Maybe you're unable to evaluate what you read and hear about it, but not everybody is so handicapped.

How can you have a valid opinion about a system that you do not understand. Much of the previous info was misinformation, so you will have to see the DVD before making a judgement. The DVD does not specifically address the how and why it works questions, but leads the astute person to a place where they can start to figure it out.
I don't think it will be THE aiming system for everyone, but I do think it will significantly improve many people's game. I believe the difficulty in figuring it out comes in being able to grasp the correct way to perceive the shot from the DVD. I was frustrated to a point of not wanting to play a few times (and many will probably not push past this point). However, once you do get into the correct CTE perception, the rest becomes very simple from that point, and just kind of falls into line. While I like the DVD, I think that it lacks a bit in this area, as I was really confused initially about the reference points, how to perceive them, and how to get into the line from there. I think it could have been explained better with some different visuals and camera angles. None the less, I do believe the info on the DVD can make you proficient at the system. I will say these things with a little grain of salt as I am just turning the corner now with the system, but its potential now (as compared to the first 10 hours I put in) seems very good.
Murdoch: I want to thank you for the red rep.
I think it read: "a nasty name calling negative peson. He should be banned on general principals"
First, learn to spell "person."
Second, there could also be an issue with your use of the word "principals" -- still in high school, maybe, though probably not a graduate? I do encourage you to go for the GED, dude.

You're right Lou. I slammed that one out when I was pissed. Never looked back. Always a bad move. As for the GED I could probably use a refresher course or two. But since I have a Masters Degree from Duke University in Math I guess I'll just have to stumble along in life as is. Would it help you to understand my thoughts if I write them out again and this time get all the words right?
I understand much more about it than you think I do. There's actually a lot of information floating around about it from which some real conclusions can be drawn. Here are some examples:
1. It sounds eerily like Hal Houle's old "fractions" aiming system, which has been discussed and argued about for years in precisely the same ways by many of the same people.
2. Even the long-awaited DVD doesn't seem to answer many questions.
3. CTE users seem to be uniformly unable to describe the system and uniformly non-analytical (maybe anti-analytical).
These are each things that can lead me to valid opinions about CTE. Taken together they begin to paint a picture about how CTE must work.
I'm not surprised.
I think you mean "they can start to use it successfully". If they figured it out they'd be able to describe how it works, and that hasn't happened yet.

Duke math degree, uh. Well, I guess it just goes to show you...
So, if I have this straight: you get pissed at someone because of something they've posted on the internet and you feel the best way to address that is to give them red rep?
lol. How Glee.

I guess I'd be considered a "Houligan" since I did visit with Hal a couple of times and did learn from him. That said, I didn't see anything wrong with Lou's review. I bought the DVD but haven't had time to watch it yet so I can't honestly say if I agree or disagree, just that I don't have a problem with it.
I guess my only hope is that this doesn't deteriorate too badly to where it gets closed or poofed by the mods.
