Sorry...but that acronym, those words....I'm afraid this is a good example
of the kind of prose that will switch my attention off.  For this passage
(or failage) above, I have to remember "On The Other Hand". I have to think
of what "reductionist" means. Figure out what overhead revenue ration is.
What "metric of deservingness" is...what a "comparator" is...all this
before trying to follow the actual argument!

We do seem to forget how to keep our words simple.
