[Vision2020] All Stile, no substance.

[Art Deco aka W. Fox]

Ben,

Very good!


There were some missing premises left for the reader to fill in.  I'll
change below one and you can do the rest.

Replace your statement #2 with this:

2.    PS Stile is in a position to influence the content of all courses and
the choice of instructors at Logos and NSA.

Fill in the missing premises.

As to the truth of my 2. above:  See the recent postings about email
laundering.

Best,

Wayne
