    Deming may have had a good grasp of psychology in dealing with 
participants who _want_ to be participants due to the incentive of pay in two 
weeks with bills coming due, but do you think Deming's philosophy equally 
applies to _involuntary_ participants who see no direct personal reward in 
the near term (like third-graders)?
    
CB> Your comments, questions, arguments, etc. do help though.
    I'd also add: if Deming is a cure-all to industrial management, why 
haven't troubled companies wanted to sign him up as a CEO _permanently_?  
(This is what I say about all the get-rich authors, too.)
