Jack Hirschfield quoted Michael McMasters who said
>>People can be counted on to do what makes sense to them.
and then Jack commented
>Both Michael and John Woods seem to me to be in denial regarding large
>numbers of people who believe they understand the systems they find
>themselves in, have determined them to be senseless, and feel powerless
>(or are unwilling for other reasons) to change the nonsensical world they

I don't see the denial. Doing what makes sence seems a neutral statement
independent of a person's level of knowledge of a system.
However, I believe that Jack is right, there are large groups of people
that do not understand the system. It is one purpose of a learning
organization to gain knowledge of systems so that it can make appropriate
well informed intelligent changes to them.
In a previous post I used Zuboff's word - informatted - as an attribute of
an organization that is able to make this kind of change.
