Dear Richard, in a reply to Winfried you stated:

>You say, at one point "Competition arises only (and is necessary there) if
>two try to do the same." This is not true. In fact, the inverse is true.
>Competition exists only through differentiation.

May I ask wich dictionary you are using? I don't have (as a Dutch student)
a Webster's available, but my own dictionary defines competition as
'striving for the same'. So when two or more people or heading for the
same (indivisible) goal, there exists competition. You could argue that
these people or doing the same, only in different ways. But maybe it's
just all about our own stupid language :)
