wwh, does this term refer to the problem per se or to the point or mental stage beyond which further understanding or learning is not possible. The use of pons seems to imply the latter. I always thought of this term as an elaborately refined way of describing the more commonly used, 'Peter Principle'. Isn't it a lovely word; I love the associations with the Pons in the brain and an asinine state. Thank you for posting it!
