Ok, The MoQ isn't a tool. It's a scheme for arranging your tool box, so that you solve problems correctly and don't, for instance, let your intellectual patterns become corrupted by social concerns.
That would be a great solution, if people would actually use it, but alas, everywhere and in everything, social concerns poke, poke poke. A fun little book is Wittgenstein's Poker <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wittgenstein%27s_Poker>, which illustrates the way concerns over celebrity squash intellectual debate, in one highly charged incident involving Wittgenstein, Karl Popper and Bertrand Russel. If THOSE guys can't escape social patterning, how can we admonish anybody? Some tools just don't slip into easy categories.
