This ^^^^^ though... does leap to the assumption that the AP WANTS back... under the LBS terms and conditions, though...
It's a dead end road the BP doesn't.
IMHO, that is a MAJOR part of this.
None of this works, unless and until the WAS CHOOSES to come back. Which kinda brings it back around to, why would the LBS WANT to come back to someone who is "collecting info" on them, constantly pushing the OP in the face of the AP, etc, etc...
Which to me, is the nature of the interpretation of the method...
Yes, in some cases it works... and in other cases it doesn't... that's a circular argument for sure and usually ends in agreeing to disagree...
Which TO ME is why MWD first and foremost stresses about forgiving and providing a safe emotional environment for the WAS to come back to... A or no A...
