I agree, in all cases except for Doug's. (example of "for every
rule there is an exception, including this rule").
For example... he always brings his lovely wife, good booze and
good stories when he comes do dinner... and I'm holding him to all
three.
Though I appreciate your holding out for the possibility that I
will one day master the art of succinct responses.

I don’t think it makes sense to seal a person into prior
positions. N

Steve,
Why
presuppose that the question is anything but a question?
Is this a
rhetorical question? (begin recursion)
We *are* talking about Doug here, aren't we? <grin>.
Doug who attributes the clever use of "Big Bold Naivete" to
yourself uses it himself in his own special version of the
Socratic (the most famous western philosopher of all?)
method. Admirals and directors of National Laboratories and
Google Executives have been brought to their knees by his
methods. What makes you think he can't bring all of FRIAM
down as easily?
Oh... also, deliberately misunderstanding Doug provides me
with a never ending opportunity to rattle on open ended about
anything I feel like.
