You know something? I have a close friend who is really making good money
from this naive concept.

And in any case, what is naive is thinking that quality is superior with the
proprietary model.

In any case, it looks like we are talking about two different subjects; I am
interested in the model (my close friend is really making progress); while
you are simply trying to draw a line in the sand for a concrete case: which
is great, that discussion also helps us all.

I would suggest a re-read of TCatB (for all of us). In that sense it is a
kind of a Bible.
