Horses for courses. The suggestion is based on what non-AP guys do. They go in aiming for a urinal or cubicle. In contrast someone with AP is checking out every aspect of the place. It is not a case of not thinking about something, but of thinking about going, or thinking about what you were talking about to your mate before you went it, or what you are going to do as soon as you finish. These guys do not remeber anything about the toilet and who was in there, because they are not interested and it is not interesting.
"Choking" or stage fright is all due to over-thinking about what you are doing in a self-conscious way. We aim to lessen the chance of this happening by
a) removing the "I am being observed" element and
b) removing the self-imposed pressure to perform: the "I must pee or else".
That is not to say the method you used is not valid: it is. One of our workshop leaders does that himself. What we want to get over to the participants is that it is not necessary to do that. To unlearn it. To do it by choice and not as a compulsion.
