So Mystery emphasizes on opening while completely ignoring the target and negging her, as emphasis is laid on the group. Later, one isolates the target and builds comfort. I find this to conflict with other books such as "Fearless relentless escalation: 60 years of challenge" where they stress on declaring intent right at the beginning of the interaction through eye contact and proximity, and kino escalating rapidly without saying much at all. (NO demonstrations of DHV, NO negs).

How do i resolve this conflict? Are there different scenarios where these methods are useful in their own right? Thanks in advanced!
