I don't want to pontificate on this business.  I want serious, reasoned, 
researched discussion.

It's far too important a topic for me to be a guru and pass out "pearls of 
wisdom."

I could actually use several hundred historians to develop numbers, and a 
dozen simulation programmers to create models.

How does one frame the questions and then get historians to do the work for 
you?

Frank Sulloway, author of the book BORN TO REBEL got them to do it.  How?
