I know this may sound cavalier, but I do not intend it as such. I offer my 
own experience...

In my experience, 'wrestling' with the CORRECTNESS of the steps in Bardon is 
a normal step in the ladder to aCTIVELY practicing self-trust and judgement 
in regard to the same. It has also been my experience in the practice of 
Bardon's teaching, that with the daily ACTIVE (JUST DO IT) 'finding my way' 
effort to accomplishing the steps as written, that I "find" the "proper 
meaning and way" to accomplish the task. Sometimes (actually often) I have 
found my desire for 'more information' is not necessary, and more 
practice/action is. Often I have found, there comes a point where my desire 
for more information is actuially a blind to doing the work. In those ample 
cases, I find that more work is sufficient to resolve the confusion.

I hope this gives another perspective or encourages you in the affirmation 
of your own reflections.

Regards,
