I would suggest that's part of the problem. I'm mot an actor rehearsing lines in a play. I'm an airline pilot working in a dynamic environment. Standard calls are very important, but to prescribe every word that comes out of my mouth is counter-productive.
The guy who came up with that chapter has lost the plot.
