That all depends on how you are defining rhetoric. From your
comment, it is obvious that once again you hold to a much
narrower definition of a word than do many other list members,
so I guess this is going to devolve into yet another pointless
discussion over a semantic difference. I am tired of such.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

...the actual use of training in rhetoric would be
applicable in only a small fraction of technical
documents. After all, technical docs are almost never
intended to influence ways of thought or persuade
people on how to decide things.

Tony Markos responds:

I feel this way also, but I have been wrong before.
Anyone care to estimate the percentage of time that
rhetoric would "come into play" in a tech comm
project?
