Carmen and John! I very much look forward to your future coverage of the New Code Patterns. I have enjoyed using the new code games to quite some extent, and have changed a myriad of behaviors with their help. On the other hand there are still a number of changes I have failed to achieve with their help (up until this point in time). Some times I have only gotten the kind of change one would expect from a first order change technique when applied to a complex problem, i.e. problem is blown away, but returns after a brief holiday. But I think that what I am after is perhaps something on a different level. Perhaps a better way of phrasing my original question would had been: "What would constitute evidence that the new code change format does NOT work as claimed by its presenters?" Or is a specification of disconfirming evidence beyond the responsibility of the presenter? (Obviously disconfirmative evidence hopefully does fall outside a description of the consequences of using a pattern ...) Best regards Thomas
