Awesome. I love it when communication works. Thanks for asking.

Your point about norm discovery is well taken. I share your sense of that being worthwhile.

Thinking about it some more, it's clear to me that I'm assuming that the actual discussions would be so choked by people who have already written their bottom lines and merely wish to implement them that any actual discovery that took place would just not be worth the effort. If that assumption proved false, I'd likely find myself much more interested in the subject.

Just to be clear, I'm not implying that people ought not attempt to implement their preferred bottom lines, merely that I'm unlikely to be interested in participating in the process myself.
