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.
