Please review my two stone game (I was black)

Basically our feeling/intuition is either the go-specific logic/knowledge that we have internalized or else baggage that we have brought into the game from elsewhere. In order to improve we have to:
1. Apply our logic to understanding new concepts and train ourselves to intuitively apply them, and
2. Look at those things we believe that just ain't so (i.e. do not work) and retrain our intuition to exclude them.
Neither tends to be a comfortable experience, but the second can be extremely difficult since it is intimately tied to our self image. None of us likes to admit we are wrong. None of us likes to admit that the great game we played last month was more a matter of what our opponent missed than what we did. However, if we can not make that step we accumulate self-imposed weaknesses.
