Like me, you opine and decide. Sounds like you and I are both experts who take advantage of all the tools in the box, numerical, computational and messy wetware. Sorry if you may have taken umbrage with my depiction of "dull headed data slaves". What I was referring to there are people who only use the numbers. For them there are no opinions or decisions. Only calculations. And as per TFA, it is that mentality that stymies innovation and good decision making.

On that, we absolutely agree! Im the end so, those who let some calculation decide for them and those who just throw solutions at the wall, are equally bad at decision making.

I know, because I made my share of bad decisions, especially early on in my career.

Yes me too. All my royal screw-ups came of hubris and imbalance between measurable facts and feelings I ignored. Respex.

I usually added a fair share of not listening to advice from people I didn't want to listen to for various reasons. Now I try my best to seperate the message from the messeneger as much as I humanly can.

Part of the learning experience, I guess?
