I'm not sure what Harrison would say, but I did it once, and I am reluctant to do it again. I know a lot of people here do it, but I say give me at least four hours.
To me, in short sessions, the space just doesn't open. It's like they get a foot in the door and can hear what's going on inside, but they're not really at the party. People can certainly witness the technique this way, but I think they miss the magic of richer interaction, multiple choice and the feeling that time and is their own.
