[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 264058, member: 40343"] I had to look it up... Based on that definition I think the problem is at two levels. There is an [u]operational[/u] level problem which as Dillinger says is down to cognitive dissonance but there is also a [u]strategic[/u] level problem where policy makers are knowingly refusing to change their entrenched positions out of self interest, embarrassment and similar things. This happens a lot when "positions" and "theories" are shown to be wrong. In the end the new theory gets to a tipping point where it then rapidly replaces the old theories along with itssupporters. That's generally how most scientific progress occurs.It's really at the heart of what I'm getting at in the final part of my "position statement" about the failing NHS. Dillinger your posts are great and you should post more often imo. [/QUOTE]
