Not to belittle any of your points, which are good, but ain't we still
talking about product here?
PBS has had a '(PBS)TV is good' campaign for a few years now, and
certainly Gates' 'assemblage' _is_ his product at this point.
Anyway, my only addition was to mark advertising as a memetic technology,
which I think we agree on totally.
As in the non-corollation between truth and memetic propagation,
intelligence and marketing success are two disparate entities as well....
