Although I generally like Joseph Johnson's point in this video, I really wish he would have taken the time to watch the movie before writhing it off as hype. There are some very strong parallels between the research he is doing and many of the conclusions the film reaches. I may be going out on a limb here, but schoohs of education can be as much the root of the problem as they can be the cure. They can hold fast to antiquainted methods far longer than necessary actually slowing the advancment of their profession. Not that they're alone, I've seen this in architecture as well. Firms will invest a great deal of time and money in "perfecting" their process, only to find that it has become stale.
