Hi!
I got a chuckle out of this. I don't know anything about ANS, but
I've had a hand in debugging code, bureaucracies, and business ventures.
Gordon seems to view the ANS agreements as equivalent to natural laws,
to be investigated and understood to any desired degree. I should
think that Philosophy is a better analogy. ANS began with a general
approach or philosophy, and is working out the details day by day.
Each day's discussion on com-priv probably deepens ANS's understanding
of the course it is charting. It is we who are dispelling their fog,
not the other way around.
