David, I always felt like we each should get three chits to use for when
we accidently do what you did!  So - you've got 2 left!

I find myself in the camp with you and ted.  In ted's reference to
dewey, I found the word I was looking for: dogma.  Adaptaing such a
dogmatic approach, while well intentioned, leaves me cold. Is it
important? Yes.  Can we affect constructive change in a person's
knowledge?  I doubt it. It is a limitation of the product. Is there
another way?  Finding that answer would be pushing the envelope of what
science centers can be......

Which is why I like this forum - a free exchange of ideas of pov's,
minus the rancor one usually finds in discussion these days.
