Merge them. Neither is really long enough to be that helpful, but together you might have something.

Disagree. Competence also refers to inducing processes.

Support. Incorporate information in Competent cell into a section titled Induction techniques (or thereabouts). --Liveste 07:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revision planned: Six years later, I'm again planning major edits of the Competence and Transformation pages. I'm still learning the ropes; I'll probably do the work in my sandbox. Rosieredfield (talk) 23:04, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
