After reading many posts about alpha and beta there seems to be a misconception among some of you. There is an opinion that alpha and beta run along a spectrum. This doesn't see to be the case in relation to the definition of the two. I agree there is a spectrum of alpha among alphas, a spectrum of beta among beta nd so on; but from what rp is trying to teach to think that alpha beta and omega lie on some spectrum is, in my opponion, to not get it.
