I think that they are all good points - and interesting to see how the organisation i work in uses them all - easy to point out the deficiencies - but many people use these as support mechanisms - so it's up to senior management to fix - unfortunately Senior management is usually senior management because it has used these points to becoume Senior management - so it will not change - sorry - good for a sectret smile tho'
