PDF version
..."When in the Course of an increasingly competitive global economy it becomes necessary for one data set to dissolve its connections to a constraining environment, the separate but inherently unequal station to which the Laws of Whose budget is larger prevails. A decent respect to the opinions of information consumers requires that data should declare the causes which compel them to rise together toward greater business efficiency."
