Nothing like this is "unimprovable." What gave you the idea ?

Maybe I've got it wrong about how influential the TIMES is.

That wouldn't be the first or only time, you got it all WRONG.

Do I think we can do much better in negotiations - and live safer, more productive, more comfortable lives as a result. Still do

And, in this, you're NOT neither alone nor anywhere near original. Such trite things remain trite and stale, with time.
