Some time, take someone who's interested in GT, and sit them down in front of the system and capture video of them using it. And don't tell them a thing. Just watch them interact with the system. See how long it takes them to get stuck in some particular way, or get the UI into some weird state they don't understand. Bring them back, tell them one thing to get them going, and then shut up entirely again and see how far they get.

It's just so incredibly hard to remember that "beginner mind", that you really have to see it in action to understand just how much is in your brain, that you don't even realize.

That exercise will probably help your book more than anything.
