Yes. Good to clarify this. Seems Platt has lost sight of this in all the "freedom" yelling =) A Static Pattern is Good. That we all know. If it is too static it will quite probably die. Good and well. The funny thing I have noticed in recent debates here is not only the anti-intellectual positions that some have (too much ZMM and too little Lila?), but also the anti-static positions that some seem to have. Seems strange.
