slashusr (Robert R.) left a really good posting, but on the Vance chat-room site, rather than here, which I think is a pity.
Therefore I'm reproducing it here, and I hope that he forgives me.

""Govern the State by being straightforward; wage war by being crafty; but win the empire by not being meddlesome...Hence the sage says, I take no action and the people are transformed of themselves..." (Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Book II, ch. LVII, 31-133)
There's more...comments anyone? "
