Definitely true. And further, there is much talk about 'bottlenecks being at the top of the bottle' in organizations. Usually in a pejorative sense. However, the narrowing serves a useful function, it allows for controlled flow so that which is pouring forth doesn't scatter all over (whether liquid or solid, like sand---or cat food) and remains in a focused mode. Hence, boundaries are useful.<BR>
