  I would be helpful, I think, if we could have a profile of the 
dimensions of knowledge and stakeholder perspective that actually
participated in the Harvard Economics Workshop.  We could compare
this with a set of "Desirable Dimensions and Perspective" that
would be acceptablein the subject case, aper the example shown below.
Such a profile would also disclose just how rigged and lopsided, if 
at all, the Harvard Workshop actually was.
