How much? I don't think there are degrees. You either recognize it or you don't. I will use this analogy because I know you understand IEPs and behavioral goals. This was a real goal written on an IEP, which has obvious flaws:"Suzy will successfully cross the street in 8 out of 10 trials." Some goals cannot be measured by percentages, or degrees. They are pass or fail. AV recognition is like that. It only takes one time for the beast to gain control. Hence, the simple definition: any thought that suggests drinking =AV.
I believe there is a reason that RR:The New Cure first introduces the concept of being of two minds, then explains how to identify and separate from the AV, then outlines the process of making a Big Plan...
In that order.
