Creepy but normal. Is it just me, or is this approach to project 
development pervasive right now? Where are the thoughtful systems 
analysts and proper project managers? I'm coming across this "let's 
start a program, we'll call it a 'trial', but it's really a first 
phase implementation, and we'll roll-out across all of xxx two months 
later". See Healthelink that has now morphed into EMR in NSW. 
http://www.emr.health.nsw.gov.au/index/about_the_emr  That's just one example.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or
