From HCO P/L 13 January 1979 Orders, Illegal and Cross (OEC Vol. 0, p. 145):

But how would one, who has not studied policy or is not very far advanced in his tech training know when he was being given an off-policy or out-tech order?


1. If it seems kind of stupid it is probably off-policy or out-tech…

2. Require that one be shown in the exact issue or book what the policy or tech actually is. 

3. Read it for yourself and don't listen to any interpretation that seems far-fetched.

From HCOB 1 September 1971, Issue I C/S Series 57, A C/S as a Training Officer—A Program for Flubless Auditing:

A 'hidden data line' is a pretense that certain data exists outside of HCOBs, books, and tapes.

From L Ron Hubbard, September 1968, Class VIII Tape 4, Standard Tech Defined:

When you’re dealing with a purity of technology, the weapon in your hands has such velocity, that it isn’t the airy-fairy days where you couldn’t cut below the reality of the PC and louse him up. There were years past where the technology as it went along did not plow under and overthrow the reality level of the PC. Well, you’re not dealing with it now. You’re dealing with pure dynamite.
