It's actually not a good point, see my reply above. Upvote for using the word 'promulgating' though. Good show :o)

  Saying "that's a good point" has as much or more to do with social courtesy than "winning" the conversation. (Have you seen this? http://www.newyorker.com/humor/2012/09/03/120903sh_shouts_simms http://www.newyorker.com/humor/2012/09/03/120903sh_shouts_si... ) I say it's a good point because it may be worth making a distinction between early-mid 20th century institutional care in an asylum and early 21st century institutional care through a variety of assistance programs. You have presented a good case that the distinction is either meaningless or that there is a direct relationship between the former and the latter, but either way, the article doesn't spell out the link between the two.

    That's true, the article really didn't explain much about the programs he would like to see. I could have done a better job of explaining myself but it was late. These residential programs are providing the type of solid routines that allows a client to stabilize and are actually doing a better job than the large institutions (according to my data). Think of the difference between how well most students do in a large impersonal lecture hall vs. 1 on 1's with teachers who take a real interest in their education.
