Christian, I have to admit that my tongue was quite near my cheek but given some recent comments, I was definitely feeling some frustrated curiosity. I think it was an "in the shower moment" that went straight to the blog (usually my posts stew a while before posting).

Considering how little I wrote on this post, how could I have adequately covered all of the facets on this issue anyway? However, Scott has added much insight to what started as a fairly minor, "well, what would happen if I wrote ..."

Finally, you have to admit that it is a chicken & egg situation and that "I only focus on the pedagogy" just doesn't cut it, does it?

Always enjoy your contributions to the conversation.
