Re: Evasions in Aikido

I am at an Army Operations Conference today in Germany, where we are developing what we call a "common operational picture" or COP.

I spent 2 hours briefing a room full of senior officers on the importance of terminology and why we must spend effort in ensuring that we all have the same understanding.

It is amazing how fast we forget, and assume everybody is on the same sheet of music!

I always liked the phrase "take care of the prisoners", what exactly does it mean? can mean two things very polar in nature!

Anyway, Terminology in the communication process is very important!
