I reread and I think you're right about most of it. But the scare quotes in Gaining Momentum really frame this as a battle between good guys and bad guys, which isn't a productive framework to think about politics. (Not productive, but can be effective depending on your goals, unfortunately).

And often it all comes down to how a solution is presented to a decision maker and how much the decision maker feels that he/she is in control. The perception of the solution is often more important than the technical details of the solution.
