Yea I'd thought maybe you were the same person. Guess not huh.. Oh so you're Albanian! I can probably count on one hand the number of y'all I've met in my 28 years. Only one I can remember is a friend named Anxhelo from French camp. That's cool though. And you're a pretty smart guy. You sound like you very well read on the neuroscience literature. Far more than me, so I'm learning a thing or two from you 😄👌. Me and you share that in common too, being set in our ways. It's good when we're right but can really hurt us when we're wrong about something. And for what you said about slowing down speech sounds / syllables to 2 seconds not producing consistent results, Hollins actually reports that 93% of people who participate in their program achieve fluency in 12 days and 75% retain their fluency two years later. And in that video I linked you, Dr. Christian mentioned a fluency program centered in Germany that has similar methods as Hollins. Basically reducing the speech rate. And they report that after the program, participates have stuttering speech under 2%. So I think there is something to it. Did know about Hollins before? They have a bunch of before and after videos of participants showing the results after just 12 days.
