Well, it is the exact scenario the author uses when describing consequences and problem solving. I took the phrases she uses and condensed them to a readers digest version. It was not meant to be said all at once, but I'd assumed most people had probably read that part of the book and knew what I was talking about. Sorry for the confusion. I should have just referenced the page numbers.
I really do like her theory of putting problems back on the person who owns them, but not sure how to implement it quite yet.
