Well, I've only had one casual AT class, so I have no idea what I'm talking about. The first class of my beginner course is tomorrow night.
But I have been reading various things on the Internet. My understanding is the basic 8 step is commonly taught because it uses the main things you need to know. However, because it is so commonly taught, people just learn to do it without extracting the individual parts it was intended to teach.
There are many posts on the internet from women complaining about men leading nothing but the basic 8. It appears you found the female equivalent of the men these women complain about.
