Just my take on it, but when the BB was first written, it was written to the person mainly who did not have an AA fellowship to lean on, as a result every possible "another human being" was covered to allow that crucial 5th step to be taken care of. Take not it does not exclude a fellow AA person.

As pointed out in the 12X12 as a result of the huge growth of AA at the time it was written it does mention a sponsor.

Progress..... not perfection!
