Hm.  Maybe you're right.  Maybe I've been *told* I'm anti-social and simply 
been a victim of those over-socialized people who don't show much depth in 
social contexts.  Regardless, the topical question I raised still stands: For 
those poor sailors who *feel* demeaned by the algorithmic context, how 
*quickly* can/do they transition into and out of the modes?

Dave raised this question implicitly by arguing that there are at least 2 
modes: training as a cog in the machine but performing as a dynamic individual. 
 The question is how often, how fast, etc these mode-switches happen.
