I'm with you on this one. Wasn't it Socrates that siad, "never say that this is so, but so it seems to me to be the thing I think I see"

There are times when I think I know "the truth".

As an example, I'm pretty sure that the ER model is a data model. I think that's "the truth". The ER Model is also useful. That's "my truth", based on my experience.

But about my view of the application as being one big capsule, that is decidedly not "the truth", or even "my truth". It is only my perspective based on my vantage point. Received on Mon Sep 06 2004 - 22:09:02 CDT
