Another example: I'm fairly unmoved by the "problem/response"
orientation, but if that's how *they* think, then sure, explain it
that way.  Eventually they may come around to the "creating the world
you want" orientation.  For that matter, they may already live there;
even those who aren't OS fans can be creative in their own ways.
