Now: It is very useful to have your eyes and brain have the same intuition when it comes to what works, what makes sense, and what doesn't. Sometimes this isn't so! That can be a problem. And at the other end, it is great to just be able to look at for example a wood shed, 1s, and then think/know that will not be disintegrated next storm. The same with computers! If one has a "mismatch", for example with the dot files in one's home dir, when one sees them and think, incorrectly, "yuk!", I suppose one must just stop the instinct to remove them or put them somewhere else and instead think, verbalize internally "are they in their right place?" and each time the answer "well, er, yes!" will come a little faster, until finally eyes-brain-intuition are all sync'd to the point when one sees an .emacs in /var/cache or one's pal's shabby wood shed and immediately one understands here someone has screwed up and is in for trouble :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
