Duncan,

What is wrong with "learning organizations" being an oxymoron? (I have to
admit that I had to look it up. My dictionary suggest: sharp-foolish: at
first a foolish notion, but containing a deeper meaning as in "inopem me
copia fecit", (abundance made me poor), Ovidius Metaporph. III). I hope
they now do let Jan use oxymoron very quickly in a zestful game of
Scrabble.
