Yep…that’s what I don’t do

Good example of a quick help to make the student see what should be seen from the student's perspective. How hovering looks like, when done right.

The natural world order probably remains as it is.

Hi Bernd

It might be a good example but you don’t get to see the student perform after, so we don’t know. What do you think that the student was paying attention to; his own movements, the outcome of the movement, or the barrage of words coming in his ear?

Hi Vince,
For students it often isn't easy to concentrate on one key, while other keys are still out of control. Here we see the student yet isn't happy with his loops and that leads him to look up at his tip, making it harder to see the hovering within the very next moment.
Steve does know (as do I) from experience, that it often helps to help with not having to focus on the loops so much, but looking at the hovering instead. Steve asks him 3 times to see the hovering and the student positively responds everytime. According to his look he focuses the right area. I am sure the student got it. I have done this myself so often, and it always works just fine and quick. If I would be in doubt due to a no better performance afterwards, I'd ask to explain the hovering.
Making sure my student a) understands what and how to do and b) can focus on only that for the moment always was key to best success for me.
To answer your question, the student listened to what Steve said and saw what it was about.
Steve has been teaching so many students, he would sense, if this part of teaching did not work.
Cheers

Funny thing Bernd, is that I was so busy watching the student, I had no idea what Steve said. Maybe it’s my limited mental capacity
I think the teaching prior to that was excellent, timing and brevity of the feedback was good.
