This is basically what I argued at the OERu online planning session, though not nearly so eloquently: "we might reveal a paradox of 'open': namely that its very enclosure within business-as-usual, and our inability to think the unthinkable and step beyond it, is too often what is closes its practices to us." I have argued vehemently (PDF) against the enclosure of the open over the years (even using the word 'enclosure').
