Interesting blog!
Coincidentally, I just got some Flag promo where the word "Mecca" is used repeatedly,
"Mecca construction..."
"...recruitment for the Mecca..."
"...open the Mecca..."
"Mecca recruiter..."
"Mecca tower"
Coincidence???
They haven't used the 'Mecca' slogan in a while.
It seems to be the official name for the building. They can't call it the "Super Power Building" because it will be used for more than Super Power, as well as that name sounding weird outside of Scn circles. It would also invite the contraction "the SP Building," which is a big no-no, of course. Since Hubbard's insistence on positioning tech decreed Flag come up with "Flag is the Mecca of technical perfection" they are stuck with "mecca" and so the "Mecca Building" is in keeping, if uninspiring.
There's an earlier ESMB thread on alternative names for the building. I don't think "Mecca Building" was one of them.
