Where's Khatzumoto?

Regardless, you're free to think and say so. But if you want to convince anybody to that extent the starting point would be to try and understand what his position or ideas actually are, then based on a generous interpretation proceed to critique it.

I wasn't clear enough. Sorry. What I meant: I did learn something from watching movies (subtiltled), but it was insginifcant compared to the same amount of acutally studing with grammar handbooks, parallel texts and audio recordings.

I don't try to convince anybody. It's just chit-chat. That's what language fora are all about.

As to K.'s ideas once more. I did understand what his ideas were: NO IDEAS. A handful of general statements.
And some jokes about nothing in particular.

I don't deny that some people could have been inspired. Anything can inspire some people. I don't even deny that K. acheived the results that he claimed to have acheived.

EDIT
To clarify one more thing. I've never said K. was stupid. His ideas are.
