In regard to (c) it seems to me that if the SIQ were slavishly followed it could lead a tyro Governor into all sorts of dangerous waters. What is needed is experience, commonsense, judgement, hard-work and, above all, luck. It seems to me that if a newcomer requires background and a prop he would be far better studying volume 8 DSP which covers the broader aspects of a Governor's job, rather than getting involved in detail which he would have to pick up on the spot anyway.
