So I guess I just wanted to maybe clarify a little what i'm interpreting from overall thing, with a bit of an elaboration and example.
For ISTp's, i've tended to notice that when they are interacting with environment, if you will, the 'control' for want of word, is more intricate. For instance, working with a tool on a small scale, perhaps some electronics board or even setting up computer devices/components, the ISTp tends to be rather skilled at working with the intricacies of these small things, attention to the small details, working the little components, w/e it is, this, nuts, bolts, screws, even other stuff, with out actually damaging it. In that respect they make great artisans, a master of the environment if you will.
ESTp's on other hand, with contrasting ego functions, are not quite so good at this, from my experience, they are more inclined to try to "shove" things in, forcing it, impatient with the little things, wanting a more direct bigger scale impact. Maybe even something as simple as trying to force a USB plug into a serial port connector, for instance.
I think this is what is meant, an illustration even, by Si involvement in direct control of environment through personal involvement. They interact environment through subjective self - and you could say this where Si comfort comes in - it's not internally pleasing to force and break things unnecessarily, hence the intricacy ... and 'mastery', it can create.
