June 28, 2004 Back from a weekend away to find John Naughton has written a really interesting review of Network Logic in the Observer. He's spotted a recurring Demos dilemma.

It reminds me of a quote by Stuart Kaufman "A definition is nether true or false; it is either useful or useless". I hope our approach is useful.
