The "so what" is that this style of belief system isn't hinged on Reality. It basically follows the popular beliefs of the environment around. It can detect inconsistencies in popular beliefs but it really doesn't have a way to get more True.

I suppose I didn't actually say this... and I suppose the reason is that I didn't want to list all of the details needed to fill in the gaps between what I have been reading in the sequences and the "Ah ha!" moment that allowed me to see the core problem in a Situation/Action belief system. This is pure laziness on my part. Sorry (but not enough to fix it).

Sorry (but not enough to fix it).

Would you please fix it? Listing at least some of the details filling in the gaps would be very helpful, more so than this post by itself.

Sure. It will take a while though.
