He said so. I'm a native English speaker, and "pretty much" denotes
"not completely", with the added connotation "but the deviations
I deem to be minor". I am using "denote" and "connote" in a technical,
narrow sense.
However, I did not intend to be caustic, as I mentioned in another
message.

It's true that I don't know for sure, since I didn't look over
his shoulder. However, if there are deviations, and his wording
strongly implies that there were deviations, then they should be
described, not just mentioned.

Yes, there is. Also, there is some evidence that his problems
may not be related to deviations from the procedure outlined
in the book.
