    Hi Nic,

    Firstly, I would like to point out that under MOQ I don't believe there is
    anything which can be considered "bad". In fact, if I take a purist
    stance, I would say that nothing can be considered "good" either! But lets
    not do that. Something is considered "bad" only when it is compared to
    something else "better" than it. Notice the relativity.

    I think we are talking about the same thing, but we are a little confused
    over the definition of relativity and the viewpoint each of us is
    adopting.

    I would have to disagree. In fact, that statement is a contradiction. You
    are saying that "the purpose of the discussion (a static intellectual
    pattern interaction) is to remove the static intellectual filters..." It
    is like reading a book on zen and hoping that it will help you reach
    enlightenment. In my opinion, this discussion helps us better understand
    the static patterns. In a way, it helps us better define it by letting us
    draw a boundry around it. This whole process is still a static pattern.

    Take care,
