I am okay with a benevolent dictator. As Arrow and Sen showed that we can't talk about agrregate social interest or about the public will, it is better to have a LKY to ramp up a country. Somehow, LKY planted all his family members in

Yeah, when the reference (and the concept) of a word shifts, it becomes a fallacy of equivocation.

That's how offshoring companies like Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, do: bizdev person gets a fat cut like x% from the offshoring contract. They are like enterprise sales at big companies. In the states, most of bizdev is about selling
