Another insight into problem-solving

Have you ever been subjected to one of those 'rational analysis' decision-making processes where you have to write down all your preferences, give 'em each a score, and then divide by the square root of the date? Or looked back at the literature on 'human capital accounting,' which was popular when some consultant was short of a bob or two? Or been puzzled by the output of an econometric model that takes a couple of Kray computers to hold it?

I like this:

'Some problems are just too complicated for rational logical solutions. They admit of insights, not answers.'

(Jerome Bert Wiesner).


Love,

Valerie.
