1314 - Summary/Objective
1315 -
131501 - Need to explain a few more conceptual objections to SDS,
131502 - following up work on 940221. ref SDS 13 0001
131503 -
131504 -
131505 -  ..
131506 - Writing Everything Down
131507 -
131508 - This has two components.
131509 -
131510 -    Others feel everything that someone does, says or hears has to be
131511 -    entered into SDS.  This point has been explained in SDS Help on
131512 -    930630. ref SDS 4 0001
131513 -    ..
131514 -    Some people feel that for SDS to be valuable it has to have
131515 -    the entire history of the organization, as expressed by Kaldveer on
131516 -    930413. ref SDS 3 846M

131901 - Line 800 - Mistakes Waste Time, did a lot of re-writing, but not sure
131902 - if it is a lot better.  Mainly worked on topics above that it is not
131903 - necessary to write the whole history of an organization into SDS, in
131904 - order to begin using it effectively.
131905 - ..
131906 - Worked in the idea that prospective users basically fear the
131907 - unknown.
131908 -
131909 - ..
131910 - Line 821 - Mistakes Waste Time, sharpened explanation of how SDS
131911 - saves time by reducing mistakes of misunderstanding.  This is not as
131912 - comprehensive as I would like, but gets us into the subject.
131913 -
131914 -     ..
131915 -    Management Productivity
131916 -
131917 -    See review of Covey's book for further consideration of how SDS
131918 -    saves the time otherwise needed through "emphatic listening" to
131919 -    assure understanding, at ref SDS 2 line 295.
