That quotation is obnoxious. It's an old sales trick. Miniaturize
something that has won a following, then claim that you are offering
the part that you just took away. The most recent example is TQM.
TQM is said to miss strategy and redesign. You wouldn't get that
impression by reading many of the sources, yet the story can stick.
Any idea that is successful comes to be identified with its most
degraded manifestations.
