Throwing all the other stuff out? Wow. Talk about deletion, huh? Seems part of the meta-model's message got lost on Paul.

There is much more to NLP than the Meta-Model. Submodalities, for instance, is a very important component, so is anchoring.

How specifically is the meta-model more useful used in what way than, say, submodalities with whom and in what situation?

Is it always, 100% of the time more useful than ANY other technique in ALL of NLP for every situation?

Sometimes the meta-model does the trick. Other times something else is more useful.

Go ahead and meta-model things you and other people say like crazy. Then tell me how useful it's been. The meta-model is really good for destroying relationships with people if you use it the wrong way.
