Learning from Models/QUERY Why isnt this list more Technical

["ALLOCAR SRASBOURG"]

Hi everybody.

I am sorry for my last observation which has no general
meaning and is very peculiar as I will explain later on.
I must explain to Mr Richardson the reasons of it.
I wanted to illustrate that you could learn and not believe then not act.
I should have explained first that one of the many possibilities to classify learning was eventually:
1. pure data collection in the model.
2. Data computations in the model.
3. Modifying the way the data are computed in the model with the time
or changing the behaviour of the model.
4. Changing the focus of the model.
5. Changing the way data are computed in other models.
6. Changing the focus of other models made by the designer of the model.
7. Changing the overall behaviour of the designer even outside of modelling in his life in general.
8. Changing the overall focus of the designer of the model.

>From 1 to 4 it concerns the model itself and the designer and from 5 to 8 the designer alone as a human being modeler and the 7 and 8 as a human being.

My example refered to the 5 between 8 classes.

As for the peculiarities: about my friends I should have written that they read much better German than English living on the boarder of France and Germany. They all have businesses that belong to the SME (small and medium enterprises) and that makes a big change and that I do not know (I do not mean that I know everybody in my town)any consultant or anybody in my town (about 500000 inhabitants) that ever heard of SD. SD seems not to be well known in France.

On top of that the general climate of business is very bad and that usually shortens its outlooks.

As for the opinions on the SD list they are generally not very technical in the sense of model oriented. Since I read the list I have not once seen a model being discussed. I thought at first that people would discuss of their technical difficulties. I think that the list having taken that direction it has locked in this sort of subject.
I do not mean it is a bad thing!
This is why as Mr Richardson notices people prefer to talk about subjects in a non technical way, not based on current books written on the subject.

May be there are people interested to share their problems,
but having noticed that the orientation of the list being not technical, they do not dare to ask technical questions especially as they know that a number of the participants are world known specialists of SD.
(which is a very good thing for the list but is very intimidating too).
Best regards to everybody.
