Pekka this is a outstanding piece of work and I would suggest an 
alternative thesis that fits your model.

"Why IMS is similar to grotesque body fat --- the case for cranial 
liposuction among IMS engineers"

"Compulsive IMS ...how to reckgonise the problem and how to treat it"

"Bulimia networka ( aka IMS ) is defined as a period of uncontrolled 
definition of network elements. The network designer places up to10,000 
boxes in an archichectural design . Bulimia networka is commonly 
associated with excessive attendance at industry conferences and 
standards bodies ( Stockholm Syndrome ) followed by purging behaviors, 
i.e., service provider bankruptcy, layoffs, etc.

I'm sure we can expand on the model endlessly...
