In a way you are right. The Spiritual part of the program seldom makes sense to a neophyte. But then again, it never really did in the past either. In the early days everyone had to have a sponsor and everyone had to work the steps fast.
Compliance was mandatory, understanding was optional. There was an assumption that sooner or later it would make sense to those who got results from the program. I myself never understood the concept of powerlessness until after I got some results. Thus my signature line.
