Dear Kaye,
Ya forgot the bit about perfect(100% full immediate with no effort.. bit like plugging oneself into a truthful memory bank) unhindered, unrestricted flow of knowledge, money, resources, product and rights...creating ,of course, a perfect platform for choice with full knowledge. oh, and of course, no effort required for the choice to be made!
Then yeah, you're right I guess ;-)..
oh know, I forget the environment and that it is not properly costed in.. sigh
