I would have liked to go to your seminar instead of mine. Although I disagree about traditional artists not using 'dirty' tricks to survive. Eye gouges and the like are/should be common place in many arts, just not in competitions or shows. (After all, they are ugly and they hurt people, making them unsuitable for those venues.)
