Gavin said, earlier:
"I have reached the limits of organisational theories and have realised
their frailties in application, method and soundness. Once one sees the
underline pattern and association with most business models then one has
reached the place where I have to say I don't know. And I don't know, but
I don't get fooled anymore by slick talk nice saying and cute theories."

sorry, Gavin, but if "reaching the limits of organizational theories"
ain't implied wisdom, then I'm a silly goat. The interpretation of models
and theories is what I do for a living is where I was initially educated
and where I did my research. Organizational theories have no limits from
where I stand, since they deal with cognitive, behavioural, abnormal, and
organizational psychology; the deepest theories of spirituality,
mathematical modelling, statistical analysis, and all kinds of other heavy
duty intellectually tasking Stuffs. We are tasked with Ortega y Gasset's
model of philosoph: we are tased with describing the universe. It's only
just begun.
