Though they are structurally similar, i.e. involving a 2 step phase such as T -> T* -> R and presentation -> feedback -> answers, I struggle to see how the corresponding elements really make sense within the model. If T* is the result of a focus shift, do the authors really mean to say that feedback from a listener at a poetry workshop constitutes a focus shift? Likewise, do the authors mean to say that the answers to a question at a poetry workshop constitutes the result (R) of a creative/serendipitous reevaluation of some trigger? I find this quite confusing, and felt that this issue would have been exposed clearly if the definition in Section 3 was indeed 'formal'.
