Hi Monte.

The practicalities of implementation should be exposed in the definition of
the problem being modelled. It is not always done.
For instance in the World model, there is no reference made to the easiness
of implementation of eventual policies.
I personally think that a policy is always relative to the owner of the
problem.
And if one wants to evaluate different policies, one must identify an owner.
If the owner is a group, there will be conflicting point of views, and there
must be a hard preliminary work of finding a compromise between them.

The big difficulty with groups, is that most people will not be ready to
express publicly their intimate interests, supposing they are conscious of them.
So I do not believe much in group modelling. It is most of the time unrealistic and seeing
reality otherwise than it is, is a primary fault in a modelling effort.
