Something I noticed way back when, when the arguements were just discussions. The topic of solo got beat into the ground and I noticed something. It seemed like some people were used to and adapted to certain levels of danger and some just weren't. It was like a comparison between construction workers that just had a certain level of hazard on their jobs and office workers that just were not used to any hazard.
In my other research, I occasionally ask the question of how can you make a person aware of themselves and their surroundings without severly threatening their life?
Peope will be people regardless of agency or training, but a good teacher can go a long way.
