Abstract

The conceptual issues of low-energy baryon physics are discussed. In particular, a comparison between the naive one gluon exchange model for the interaction between constituent quarks in hadrons and the Goldstone boson exchange picture is made. The "defects" of the Goldstone boson exchange model for baryons, indicated by Isgur are examined in detail. {\it All} of the purported ``defects'' are shown to lack a valid basis.
