I'm a surveyor, but the procedures are similar. Nevertheless the process
of resolution where there are tangible facts -- cases and precedents (and
a shared recognition that ambiguity or conflict exists) -- is not very
relevant yet, imo. Here, we're more like Bucky Fuller trying to put
together the first geodesic dome with folks who insist on having walls
and ceilings.
