Michel, I wish you luck in this endeavour, but I think I've already said about as much as I want to say on this matter.

I have said time and time again that this is something that cannot be learnt from the pictures and the written word.

Anybody who understands anything at all about tangguh will say the same thing.

The more a knowledgeable person in this field attempts to explain aspects of it, the more confusing the matter becomes and people who have no knowledge of the subject only become more and more bewildered.

There is only one way to learn the application of tangguh and that is at the knee of a knowledgeable person who has access to many examples.

The best that somebody who does not have access to this can do is to learn about tangguh, which is considerably different from learning its application.
