wow... lot's of good questions! First, because PWSC do so many of the same things, I suspect that the just follow their instincts. In fact, these are the same ways people (who don't stutter) respond to things they are afraid of. So I see them as natural reactions. Is going "covert" a fluency strategy? No, I see it as a form of coping with stuttering by avoiding it; at almost any cost. And I don't see avoiding as being the same of speaking fluently or not stuttering. Fluency speakers say what they want, when they want, and to whom they want. The covert strategies don't really enable that. As a consequence, stuttering covertly doesn't really resolve the problem.
