Agree. But, I blanched at your terms "combative" and "aggressive" in
describing the technique for opening minds to the MOQ. So I turned to our
agreed upon (but not exclusive) reliable source Wikipedia and looked up
"motivation." Low and behold toward the end was a section entitled "Using
Music as a Source of Primary Motivation." I'm not sure I agree with or
even understand all the author was claiming, but the overall approach
appealed highly--lure with honey. If you have a moment sometime, take a
look. I'd be very interested in your reaction.
