No, the real issue with the indoc remains that it's an absurdly long day, 10 hours (11-12 with hotel transportation factored in), a lousy hotel completely unsuitable for any stay longer than 3 days, no laundry, no affordable eating establishments within a quick walking distance, zero time to decompress or study, just non-stop firehose for two solid weeks.
