You got nothing? You got absolutely nothing? OK, let me tell you
wtf: you need a course on Aristotle. Honestly, it helps with
those "big account clients" you mention in a later post.
Let me explain: big account clients tend to be running about with
a million things and requirements in their heads. They truly
appreciate perspective. They want and they crave the big useful
picture. There is nothing more useful than the biggest picture of
all. And that means only one thing: Aristotle. Trust me, there is
big money to be made via Aristotle.
(Hey JL... c'mon, what is obtuse about this now?)
