Ok, that's fine.


So then in light of this I should restate post 98:

We want to be paying close and continuous attention as much as we can be while at the same time have our safety depend on paying close and continuous attention as little as we can. Following the general "laymen's" rules (which requires paying attention) helps with both.

The more you succeed at trying to follow the general laymen's rules consistently, including paying attention (which is implicit in all rules), the more you will be paying close and continuous attention.

The more you follow the rules, including paying attention, the more you will be paying close and continuous attention.
