Well we did certainly have a sustained discussion on it, and it was 
cross-referenced with the clincial data at several points.  I even 
checked in here for what people thought.  ;-)

The point I'd make however, is about audience and intent, in any 
presentation or educational experience.  Who the audience is, what 
you're trying to get over to them, and how clincial you need to be, is 
individual to that presentation.  A good teacher understands this, and 
adapts their material and their hook, accordingly.  There are times when 
imprecise proxies will do better, than precise ones.  There are times 
when belly balls are vital, and there are times when using them will be 
a barrier to making emotional connection in the audience.

Evrything in the tool box is useful in context.  :-)   

(Although I'm confused about your point about stuffing to the gills... 
when the point was to _not_ stuff to the gills?)

Any of these are a very imprecise proxy for making our point to avoid stuffing young babies with large quantities of formula. Just because a baby's stomach will accommodate being stuffed to the gills, doesn't mean that the baby should be fed?in that manner.
