The comment about intelligence indicates that it appears the reading of the WIKID Power hierarchy was not thorough enough to get a proper understanding of the model.

May I respectfully suggest that deferring to a dictionary deifintion is somewhat limited in advancing the understanding of the model. Yes, many dictionaries were consulted in the earliest of analyses - and found wanting.

As the model began taking shape, it was presented to various audiences - the feedback allowed it to continually develop to the point where it is now. This has now been presented internationally and at forums involving advanced military intelligence specialists (actually being opening key note presentation twice at advanced military intelligence courses, presented deep in military HQ in London, Washington and Australia and has survived an attempt to have it classified beyond top secret). The presentations were 3 x 20 min - thus allowing better understanding of the types of (and more advanced) issues mentioned in the comment.

To date, the challengers to this model only speak theoretically - getting pedantic with semantics. The reality of it is that in the practical sense, it has not been faulted - although many very clever minds have tried to offer some very intriguing situations against which to test the model! It has been SPECIFICALLY put to practical use in some very interesting scenarios.

Most recently this year, I have refined the model yet more (in an aha moment) and found some better explanations, but in essence, the WIKID hierarchy remains.

I plan to rejuvenate the presentation and offer it online in the next 12 months. Anyone genuinely interested can email me and I will ensure they get to see it first when published.

Sincere regards ... Ian
