		<description>Shit.  If this critical trend keeps up, I&#039;ll be forced to become a social media cheerleader in order to maintain my contrarian viewpoint...

I disagree with your &quot;overheard&quot; bullet point stating &quot;it&#039;s more about the HOW today, not the WHY.&quot;  From my perspective, all anyone EVER talks about is &quot;how&quot; to do things; WHY we do them almost never seems to be investigated -- mostly because people are reluctant to question their own goals and processes.

Yes, we who believe we have the answers must lead by example.  Often, that means we must lead *with* examples.  More substance, less shrink-wrap.
