Why there is more training needed to apply the technique in more settings? Because I/we just followed a single set of fixed instructions to achieve an isolated effect without understanding the deeper patterns.
Why no lasting effect? Because habits do not form from single occurrences.
OK, some things can be gained. I already notice how I assume the basic position multiple times a day now. But still not broadly.
In this case you likely didn't gain a habit. But you got rid of what Thomas Hanna calls Sensory Motor Amnesia (SMA). You now have a perception of being out of the "optimal position". That perceptive ability allows you to correct your posture.
Yes, there's still work to do, but in my experience single occurrences can do a lot.
