NO......

>>NO shares past experience.>>

Simply "defines" past experience.

>>NO saves having to reinvent the wheel.>>

NO, for unless you risk applying knowledge in a "real" way -ie. did I say "GO"? - NO is baseless and has NO meaning.

>>NO will save your life.>>

GO - real ACTION/RISK - has a much better shot than NO. Nobody ever talks about GO for it refers to instinctive things that have NO meaning.

>>NO vs. GO? Brings to mind a parody of science shows I saw once called "Science Made Stupid." At our local National Laboratory they have a poster in the thirtieth duplication called "Earl's School for Quantum Mechanics". When you gradiate, you are a Quantum Mechanic. Now go fix them quantums if they're broke.

Simplification to extraordinary ends is called "OVERsimplification". One word lemmas that purport to yield great truth and provide guidelines for complex behavior and value assessments are moronic applications of the process of logical reduction. Sure simplify when it clarifies. But

how about

NO vs. 'ho
GO vs. SO?
NO vs. Edgar Allen Poe?

Is this monosyllabic lexicon of peace, love, energy (oops, 3 syllables, how'd that get in there) and GO! the best way to express a great idea? To quote another great source of wisdom, that is repetitive, oversimplified and irritating, the idiot box, "Where's the beef?">>

Cosmic,

You are becoming more risk oriented with each passing post.

How about "Where's the GO?"

Peace.
