Hoi,
Actually that is a misinterpretation; what was asked and what I 
explained there was why there is such an aversion to using numbers to 
deal with people. Now let us forget about this as it is not productive 
and I think we both want to do good. We do not agree on what is good but 
this does not make either of us a Nazi.
Thanks,
    GerarM
