That's the typical scenario I'm referring to. But I wouldn't count out anything you're saying. Just stay away from PC on Monday -- what if it becomes a catalyst for you? Would I then become a Project Manager? Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Interesting idea, mklass, but let’s say someone tried using the same make, model, size, etc. of Babe Ruth’s bat.

It is the one part of the human body that science only has a primitive understanding of. (One of many examples would be that humans still yearn to understand the search algorithm of human memory.) Perhaps using an artifact of an ‘enlightened’ individual, such as Babe Ruth’s bat, may very well be a catalyst for the human mind to ‘kick into overdrive.’ I would not attempt to argue the associative property of an artifact, but I would not discount that ability for an artifact to augment the psychological state of an individual which, in turn, supports a derivative of the associative property of an artifact.
