Thanks Alastair thats helpful (and all for contributions). I guess, I am 
trying to understand the intent, but appreciate that in its current

I guess, the issue with having placeholder techniques, when there may be 
little existing techniques for any given SC can be confusing for people 
who are looking for 'how to' advice.
