Thanks, Les for your distinctions around local and global maxima and your
questions about process or serial process.
Truthfully, I hadn't considered whether it's serial or parallel and what
that would look like an the pros and cons. Do you have an opinion? I
think for it to be parallel, it would require multiple roles at the same
time because if it is the same person, the attention would get split and
that would reduce the effectiveness in both domains - performing and
learning.
