I guess “Max Power” won’t impress the executive search committee like it used to.

Good news, if you pronounce if awkwardly then you’re as close. Also if I blew by it right, I saw they were tagging biz (including ‘environmental munificence’) at 0 or 1 for conventionality (following 5 leads also given in the introduction.) But the names got a continuum. Kind of fun to have a ready attack for being concerned about this kind of thing.

And if I ever have a kid, I’m going to name them Nominitive Determinism!
