This is what I intended with the choice of that word, yes. However, I believe the way I used it was a good one... Read this...
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=homogeneity
Now, if they were going to apply it to companies, surely I can safely apply it to people. I will freely admit when I am wrong, but I am not convinced here. I don't doubt they use that word in that work, but I don't think it can only be used there. Language should be more dymanic that that...
Maybe I do wax-on a bit, fine I will try to tone it down some. Cool? :-)
Cheers,
David
