    Sure thing, Matti.

    In reality it translates to:  Don't question what we tell
    you, just do it.  Then you'll see that it works.  Or as the
    Phattard had all dianetic auditors learn verbatum and recite
    word for word to the marks they audit ...

            "Just do as I say and all will be well."

    Credibility cannot be measured numerically and so, fortunately
    for him, is not one of his stats.  Number of dead-agent, propaganda
    posts, is.
