A good idea. Unfortunately there is a lot of pressure on us from various
directions to take responsibility for everything. We should take
responsibility for nothing but ourselves and our advice.
(Warning, I haven't fully thought through the implications of this
dogmatic statement yet.)
But your posting reminded me of a television comedy (was it "A Very
Peculiar Practice"?) in which the concept of a bag was used in a similar
way, but the dim strait-laced partner just didn't get it when the
touchy-feely one tried to explain.
