But there is a dark inversion to this ignorance. For such is the inscrutability of the legal craft — so ''impenetrable'' is it — that a manager knows only that one ''has'' this magic, or one ''has not''. Those who ''have'' it are interchangeable; substitutable; switchable; ''[[fungible]]''. Any of them will do, and the cheapest is best. Hence the manager’s regular reconnaissance missions to those parts of Manila where the streets have no name.
