I decided long ago that if I really want to change something about someone,
I do best to be like the other person *in every respect* except the area in
which I want to produce change.  If I dress like him (well, her), talk like
him, understand the same movie and tv gossip, I increase my chances that
the other person will think, "Hey, she's not so bad.  In fact, she's
downright normal.  She thinks like me.  Yet she has this information that I
hadn't heard before.  It could be there's something to it."

If I expect the other person first to accept a strange new name for formula
and then to view it as inferior, I've asked him to make two steps instead
of one.  I think it makes more sense to call it formula, *just like
everyone else*, but to have new and different information about it.  Just
MHO.
