I'll post the interview from the GDC Newsletter later this evening or 
tomorrow, or perhaps not until Sunday and each person can decide for 
themselves what he is recommending and/or advocating.  I have snippets of it 
typed in from the hard copy, but I don't have the whole article typed in, and 
I'd prefer to post it in it's entirety. I suspect what he may or may not be 
implying with his words is open to interpretation and debate, as most things 
are. ;-)
