An Attack on the Quality movement

[Myron Tribus <mtribus@home.com>]

Thanks to Bob Clements, my attention was directed to

http://olam.ed.asu.edu/epaa/v3n9.html

where I found a very angry attack on the quality movement in general 
and on the applicability of quality in a university setting in 
particular.

The paper contains some legitimate criticisms, so I urge readers to 
control their impulsivity!

Since I was attacked by name, I am considering whether or not it is 
worth the effort to respond.  I doubt many people have read the 
document so there may be more harm in calling attention to it than 
ignoring it!

The author does target some titles and phrases which I consider unwise.

[Moderator's Note:  When this paper was first brought to attention a few
years ago, I contacted the author to invite him to join our forum and debate
his topic.  He declined.
