There's a big difference between a _puzzle_ and a _mystery_. In a puzzle, the goal state is known, and as more pieces - data - appears, the goal gets closer. You know how far you are from the goal. A mystery is worse. With each additional piece of data, the goal gets farther away. Everything is more and more confusing. (Popularized by Malcom Gladwell) |
