Harrison, et. al.

I think the fish metaphor has moved to a third level.   e.g.:

Give a person a fish, they eat for that day.

Teach a person to fish, they eat for the all their lives.

Turn a person on about fishing, they invent new ways to fish.

I think the third level is where we should be aiming our efforts in all that
we do because a turned on person is both unpredictable and powerful.
Becoming unpredictable is a good thing.   Becoming powerful means one has the chance
to influence events through unexpected change.
