I could not possibly say what gives at your end, merely surmise on the possible. I can, in principle agree with bureaucron, If I get that meaning correct. How does that get us into epistemology instead of quibbling? """ The startling fact about Homo bureaucratis is that he lives in a paper universe called THe System, and the world of human beings seldom enters his universe." Analog, Nov 1972, p117ff "Request for Proposal" A.R. Lewis Is that it? """The perfect bureaucrat everywhere is the man who manages to make no decisions and escape all responsibility. Brooks Atkinson (1894 - 1984), Once Around the Sun, 1951 ""Rama II, p 338: " All bureaucracies are the same, They drain the life out of the truly creative poeple and develop mindless paper-pushers as their critical mass" from Wakefield. Bureaucrats tell us what we ought to do and be, while creatives explore what they can be. There's a lot of that around. I begin to wonder which side of random it is in this group?
