i agree. just as not every teacher can teach, not every pattern writer can write patterns.
and from my own experience with finding pattern testers, it's very very difficult to find someone to test pattern & give feedback.
it takes time to develope pattern idea, write & illustrate, produce sample ..so i do understand people's slow response to helping with testing. tho professional pattern writers probably have a "crew" of people to test & help.
