I find it interesting that in my case I was exposed through a textbook about management (it was actually for the exam called economics) to von Bertalanffy's general systems theory (GST) and Henri Fayol's functions of management. I passively absorbed from that textbook that some authors (including that one) prefer to interpret Fayol's theory as four functions of management that resemble a feedback loop. I just took for granted that Fayol's and von Bertalanffy's theories are the same theory. When I found out that Jung in his texts insists of four psychological functions, it seemed natural to assume (it wasn't even an assumption, because making an assumption takes some time and effort) that Fayol and Jung were writing about the same functions that are actually (a part of) GST. Much later I needed an additional effort to learn that Fayol's and von Bertalanffy's theories are different and that I should somehow tear them apart even though I was told by Kent Palmer that "ideas" that have never been mine from a draft version of my text (I was also insulted by a reviewer as someone who isn't capable of anything and who in his dumb way tried to steal Robert Rosen's ideas) were identical to what Terrence Deacon wrote in his book "Incomplete Nature". It's as if I have found a valet that its owner doesn't want back.
