Something I've never disagreed with, and I absolutely think that consistency is important, that doesn't change the fact that picking my birthday and picking the date I'm going to fly to japan are different tasks, that need to evaluated differently. So yes we need consistency within those two tasks, but I don't see that consistency between them is obvious. Jim.
