OK - this is a little belated - but I was reading some CIO magazine back issues, and came across this interview with Nicholas "IT Doesn't Matter" Carr. The light finally went on: the guy has a circular premise.

- If it's in IT, it doesn't matter.
- If it matters, it's not the concern of IT.

Wonderful way to frame a thesis - you can never be proved wrong.

Language is power, and that is where he's playing - in the authoritative allocation of meaning to the term "IT." Beware.
