What? If this is manipulation then I'm a manipulator as is every other parent (and teacher, and every customer service worth their salt) aren't we?
Yep, we simplify. Yes, we tell stories. We don't lie. (No, teaching Newtonian mechanics without mentioning Relativity isn't a lie, and neither is simplifying the container explanations until even bureaucrats can understand it ;-)
That said, having
1. seen the email that circulated with my customers ten years ago about how container ships transport goods from Asia to US and American air back
2. and having recently listened to "The Goal" by Eliyahu M. Goldratt
