12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>Right on Larry – and I found a very
curious and embarrassing typo in my small piece. I said, “They (the
Principles and the Law) are descriptive as opposed to descriptive.” I
meant to say,”They are descriptive as opposed to prescriptive.” Point
is neither the Law nor the Principles tell you what to do – they simply
alert everybody to what will be taking place no matter what. I think that is a
useful function, but it really doesn’t change a thing. In short –
there will come a day when The Law and The Principles can be assigned to that
wonderful status of “One more thing not to do.”</span></font></p>

thing non-sensical, the 4 principles and one law are neither laws nor
principles actually. To be honest they are just my (and others’)
observations of what seemed to be happening in any case. In a word they are
descriptive as opposed to descriptive – You could say it is all a joke.
Rather like “technology” in the phrase Open Space Technology. The
joke, however turned out to be outrageously funny – because somehow or
another truth broke through. We are in serious trouble! Everybody knows that
what happens in Open Space simply can’t happen. Unfortunately it does
– and that makes a joke out of a whole mess of other stuff – like
most of what we think we know about meetings, the management of meetings, and
management itself. Double trouble!!</span></font></p>
