Dear Rich, (01)

MW: The link is one of metaphor, rather than say
specialisation/generalisation, which happens a lot with words. But when that
happens you have to be very careful, because you get the same word being
used for concepts in very different categories, as you say. (03)

MW: You need to be careful about what IDEF0 diagrams represent. They
represent a process rather than a plan, the boxes are classes of activity (a
process is pretty much the same thing as a method) it's a repeatable way of
doing something, but it does not have particular dates when the activities
will be executed, which a plan has. (05)
