:Number 4, at least, is a pretty common myth.  To quote Woody Allen:  "When
:I'm by myself, I practice a lot."

    It's like riding a bike.  If you ride solo a lot, that's all that
    you're good at.  That doesn't guarantee that you're good at riding in
    tandem --- much less with a whole pack.

    Going a little further, most "players" would probably be terribly
    inexperienced and immensely uncomfortable with more than one member
    (i.e. his own) in a 3+ situation.

    "How to PK in RL"... maybe I should write a book?  ^_^;
