No, many don't. As is indicated by the responses gotten right here on 
this list in the last few days, it's *presumed* that you can't detect a 
slow roll in a unison without listening to the entire cycle. Left to 
themselves, as most out there are, they may very well never discover 
otherwise. Having an overlooked approach for improvement pointed out to 
them, they have to both want to improve, and be willing to try it, 
risking the beliefs they've operated on all these years. The process is 
the easy part. They already know the physical mechanics. Overcoming the 
petrified presumptions and habits is the difficult part, as the rest of 
your post noted.

So I don't think you really disagree with me at all.
