You are correct, however the RCs are meant to act as a component of awareness checks anyway.

Ultimately, all these things are simply tools. Don't confuse the tool with the goal. A person who has achieved some form of constant high self- and environment-awareness would need no such tools or tricks. I think moving toward that level is the goal, and RCs and other tools are things we take advantage of on our way up, but eventually they could be cast aside.
