Heh heh; spot on Half baked (#1624).....
Maybe instead of sending 2000 pages to the minister, we could just send that clip, with a short explanatory note. Save a lot of time.
Yes the AAAA submission could be listed as the official IOS charter,
There were 52 open submissions presented in 2008, even with the most ruthless culling at least 50% could be considered of value and 50% of the remainder were excellent, first class, considered advice, valid and did not cost squilions in 'consultancy fees' or bonuses. The submitters cannot all be just a deluded minority, the dregs of society or not qualified, can they??
You'd think that even if the boys over at Sleepy Hollow were determined to bury the advice, they would have at least have the common or garden nouse to plagiarise the good oil for their own internal recommendations and reports. Wodger did try to lead the plagiarism charge, perhaps the rest were just busy leaning on shovels or towing the party line. Or maybe, it's just they wouldn't know sound advice from shinola, if it jumped up and bit them.
