Ahh haaa....damn word...it'll pay for that...;)
Now imagine if you looked up the word Capital in the dictionary and it read like this:
Capital - Although not exhaustive, examples of the meaning of the word Capital include: Wealth in the form of money or property; Human resources considered in terms of their contributions to an economy; a city that is the center of a specific activity or industry; etc.
Maybe some of our inaction comes from having policies that are a little too open-ended. I don't like being locked into rules but maybe there are cases where we can't be so open ended (RISC vs. CISC?). Maybe if we made our operational policies specific and all-inclusive we wouldn't have to reinterpret them every time we went to use them. Then again maybe we want reinterpretation.
