At,
It seems to me that your new definition of 'manipulation' is a very good
one, and that it removes the connotation of deception. Is this your
intent? I accept that. The original discussion was about the deceptive
manipulation that occurs in organizations. Or, at least it was perceived
to be deceptive by the writer. Perhaps that is your point.
I am unsure how to proceed.
