Isn't this a question about the art of persuasion?  I think this topic arises 
a lot, in various forms, on the DEN.  After we have explained the "logic" of 
an element of the SoPK, amazingly, our listener is not persuaded.  We know 
that WED believed persuasion was an important skill set of any leader.  Would 
a thread on the art of persuasion be helpful?  What are the elements, 
boundaries, etc., of effective persuasion?

I look with interest to specific advice to Vic's question.
