I can't understand what you're asking.

EM is like playing blindfold golf. Even if you know you're in a bunker 
and you know how big the bunker is, you still don't know the direction 
of the green or how hard to swing the club to get the ball onto it.

In some ways EM is harder than golf... if you aren't swinging the club 
hard enough, you won't always know you're still in the same bunker.
