Agreed. I also use examples like a business plan to develop large amounts of office space in a small amount of land before the technology of skyscrapers had been developed. Or the business plan to deliver packages overnight before jet transport had been developed. Or the business concept of doing a census on 100 million citizens before digital computers had been invented (or whatever number drove the US census bureau to be one of the first to use computers). I've seen way to many enterprises with the right business aspirations screw it up because they couldn't get the technology right to every believe that business-SOA is anything other than a fantasy. -- Nick
