Not a one. Not in any school, Scn or otherwise. The reason why is fairly
obvious.

Hubbard built a firewall against your sort with his 'what's true for
you' cornerstone.

Not that I can recall. But then I was in Power almost non-stop and it's
hard to see that line from such heighth....

Here's my theory about that. I never had ethics trouble because I kept
my own counsel on such matters. While you seem to think that the only
way to be a Scn is to agree with everything or word-clear and do ethics
cycles until you do. At least that's how you come across. That
perception of Scn exists in only two places I know of -> the Sea Org and
ARS. That the Opinion Leaders of ARS are primarily ex-SO may be telling
in why that perception exists here. It's no secret how much time I spent
being a Scn. During that time I had literally thousands of conversations
with Scn who _did_ disagree or doubt the workablility of one or another
aspect of the tech. So what? If it was a strong enough disagreement,
they moved on. If not, it wasn't an issue.

BTW, the real secret to getting the most out of Scn is to never join the
SO.
