  I guess I fail to see what your point is.

  You seem to be saying that different people will get different
results using the same mechanisms.  If this is your point, then we agree.
But, you have argued for different mechanisms before.

  In each category you describe several variations on the same theme which
result in differing qualities in the return on investment. 

  But, in each category there are some essential principles which are
the same. airplanes have wings and means of propulsion, cars and trucks have
wheels, brakes, steering and propulsion, and PDAs and Celerons have I/O, CPU
and storage.

  You are suggesting that part of the population should use PDAs to drive
on roads and the other part should use F-15s. Yet that was your proposal
before about having different mechanisms for different classes of
multihoming.
