Well, sure. But it's about balance, and neither M&O bloat nor M&O starvation is something to be proud of.

Here's to the First Responders!
We admit to throwing around some pretty charged terms in a loose fashion. Sometimes we forget that not everybody is drinking the koolaid. We [assume] that words like paradigm, architecture, and model mean the same thing to everyone. Of course we are wrong (what they say about 'assume' is still in effect).
