Strange way of looking at it...
Also, you seem to be referring to some kind of theory to do with natives thinking about what they are saying (Or something like that) which I never actually mentioned in any posts...
At what point did I say that you can't use grammar books and stuff?
I use them to speed up the learning process, but it doesn't change the fact I am learning by myself.

I never said that.. But as soon as you get help from others - to me, though - it's not really 'self-taught' anymore. Obviously therefore you can never be a good self-taught in ANY language in my opinion. You will always require some certain amount of help - unless you have crazy flair. Talking to natives of the language you wanna learn, gives you FEEDBACK and thereby boosts your learning.
I was pointing out that most natives wouldn't actually be able to give you a legit reason for why a verb changes in what direction depending on tense etc., while a teacher will be able to show you and explain to you EXACTLY why a word is used the way it is.
I never said that. lol. At what point did I say that I'd only comment on what you'd written?
