OK, I see. Unconscious competence, while being as desirable end state for
indicating mastery, also is indicative of the lack of learning associated
wiith that particular state. Just like an individual who has hit their

is growing in developing new competencies. Thanks, Leslie, that gives me
new insight into why the order would be different. FWIW.
