You are absolutely right of course, but to be fair, Chris has expressed his difficulties in writing down his rituals from the point of view of *a* (not *the*) working theory.
As I understand it, he is having difficulty not with the details (and knowing Chris, I would be surprised if that were the case), but with ... narrative direction I guess ?
> Take a point of view, state WHO it is.
It's the point of view he seems to be having trouble with, if that's any help :)
But yes, Chris needs to get stuck in.
