A limited methodology (ie RM) will be more efficient than a more general methodology (ie Thing Model, the foundation for XDb1 & 2) when both are applied to an application within the limited methodology's scope. For years, RMers have propogated the falsity that RM is the most general/generic methodology. I am here to prove them wrong with examples outside RM's ideal scope.

RM is analogous to a set of fixed size wrenches. TM is analogous to an adjustable wrench. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages.

In my estimation, TM is geared towards AI-type applications. Are you game? Received on Sat Nov 06 2004 - 12:54:08 CST
