The point raised by Michael Perelman, remains valid.  Is a Theory of Cheese  
a good Theory of Mousetraps?  Of course, choice is constrained choice.  Why  
not have a theory of constraints instead? [not a duality theorem].  Once the  
parameters of the game are set, choices - and their analysis - might be  
trivial.  It is also wrong to see choice where a constraint appears.  So the  
Master of the Game is not the one who makes the choices, but he [or she, or  
they] who sets the agenda and the constraints of choice.  By the way, the  
number of stupid ideologues should not be underestimated.  Soon, they will  
be cited more often than the rest.
