Thank you, Eric for excellent description of the MS Flip phenomenon. MS
Flip software comes in different versions: the Learning Edition, the
Professional, and the Enterprise Version. :-)

Abandoning consistency seems cheap yet rewarding: we can lie to our friends,
we can cheat our closest ones, we don't have to keep our promises. It's our
happiness what "we are most generally interested in". Especially with
people we are close with, whom we know how to hurt. Lying is easy: when
caught -- we just spit a series of nasty personal remarks and this should
scare them off next time.

MS Flip seems to be as promising as Communism: "I will always get what I
want" -- as long as "they do what they are capable of".

MS Flip is based on slightly different key-words in different versions: "Are
you willing to admit that others *might also be right*" -- in the Learning
Edition, "Sometimes you have to step out of the logic box" -- the
Professional Version, and "A is not really A" -- the Enterprise Version.

There is also a shareware version of MS Flip: "I hate your rationality and
logic".

The price of MS Flip does not seem to be well specified. It seems to be
almost free.

Does anybody have an idea what the price really is?
