It is clever if that was the intent, I'm just not convinced it was the intent. So many stopped at the road-signs on the road to CC. They're still there staring at them. I also see a pattern of a lot of people who learned the poetic language of enlighten-talk and walk who probably never were. But then they really didn't have a teacher to verify their state. It was valuable for me to a point. I still use it, you can integrate it, I don't feel any need to reject it as a practice. But it cannot lead to UC. Well maybe Unity Andy...;-) It has lost an evolutionary motion on me, but I do admire it for what it is.
