After further digesting of the responses in this thread I am content to say I am convinced. The only distinction to be made by denoting something as a surrogate is that it indicates the attribute was initiated during that specific design process, as a response to an identification problem highlighted when propositions were being formed. And I cannot see much use for that rather than indicating where control lies.

I appreciate the time people have spent responding. Received on Fri Aug 18 2006 - 18:38:06 CDT
