I am not suggesting that we "force" candidates to do anything.

The best systems are those that have....

	The right people...
		with the right information...
			doing the right thing...

When that happens...people know recognize it...
you apparently feel that this has occurred...

I was just suggesting that people be given the
right information by the right people so they
can do the right thing...
