Yes, and it's probably often preferable to make a poor decision than none at all. The "run like a business" subtext that I object to is simply the blanketing of any and all things together as hypothetical widgets. I worked for an art museum once where our director gave an inspirational speech about how he bought a pair of socks at Nordstrums. He wanted us to call patrons and vistors "customers". I'm interested in your reading of The Cherry Orchard Flattop--don't you think it's deeply sad, but still very funny?
