Dear Karl, generally I am challenged by your post but let me point  
out that the Stryer's Biochemistry book I used in undergrad in 1983  
is not a valid representation of Biochemistry today. My point is that  
the insights as well as the scientific approach is dynamic hence we  
should probably consider the definition somewhat the same. Perhaps  
"organizational unlearning" is an example.
