Ahhh... Mr. White. I couldn't agree more.
I sorta look at it like this:
In the early phases of all of this re-branding, whichever flavor it's been,
we have a cadre of someones show up on the scene who claims to have "Seen
the Light" and offers us their wisdom

And then, the story gets told over and over and the voices GET LOUDER,
thinking if its said LOUDLY enough, it MIST be believed

But then, some of us try to bring logic into the discussion and expose the
loudness as just NOISE

And then, everyone eventually wakes up and realizes.. it was all a dream

And we go back to managing information as an asset for our various
organizations, using the principles of Records Management we all know and
love that have evolved, yet remained quite similar, over all the years
they've been practiced.
