No heuristic is a replacement for being smart, grounded, and experienced. On the contrary, being smart, grounded, and experienced can substitute for virtually any heuristic, technique or process.

    Lord Kelvin was probably the smartest, most grounded, and most experienced scientist of the late 19th century. He was an expert in every area of physics, and he wound up being wrong about all of the major issues.

    Being smart, grounded, and experienced means that one’s untested hunches are more likely to be correct. But it also leads to arrogance and a tendency to block innovation if not accompanied by open-mindedness and a willingness to acknowledge that there are still things to be learned.

    Totally agree.

  3. seth Says:

    There’s a missing concept there… something along the lines of “don’t entrench”. Groundedness, fwiw, was intended to capture the idea of “keep yourself in line with data” … whatever the ‘real ground’ is in your field.

    It’s so much easier to find the perfect wedding dresses dress today than it was 20 or 40 years ago. wedding dress are the days of puffy shoulder pads anddiscount wedding dresses, today’s bridesmaids’ dresses are sleek and streamlined, many of beach wedding dresses can be worn again. Simple wedding dress have also evolved, saying goodbye to gaudy shades in favor of a huge color spectrum ranging from elegant Modest wedding dress to sophisticated fun pinks and freshElegant wedding dress.Generally theElegant wedding dresschooses the type of dress her bridesmaids will wear.Elegant wedding dress is often a bone of contention for the bridesmaids as many times the Chinese wedding dress chooses a style or color that isn’t flattering for all of the women in the Western wedding dress party. While it’s true, you can’t please everyone, the Formal wedding dress can spare a lot of bad feelings by allowing the women in theInformal wedding dress party to have some input into the selection process. Perhaps all of the women involved can haveWedding dress style of shopping together to find a style and Short wedding dress flattering to every shape and skin tone. Try to find styles without too many Tea length wedding dress or embellishments as these types of dresses can’t be cut down or worn again for other Tea length wedding dress occasions.If you want to find a Strapless wedding dress flattering to everyone, avoid the Straps wedding dress: Puffy shoulder pads: Big Short wedding dress sleeves flatter very few women. Petite women seem lost in the Mermaid wedding dress and larger framed women look like Column wedding dress . If you’d like all your Plus Size wedding dresses to look lovely, avoid the use of heavily padded Wedding dress colors. Large “butt” bows: You have to have a small White wedding dress to rock the butt bow. Since Prom Dresses is an area most women don’t wish to call Cheap Prom Dress to, try not to choose Prom Dresses 2010 with large butt bows. Pale Colors: Pale Prom Dress and Prom Dresses 2010 might look good on the Cheap Prom Dresses, but Plus Size Prom Dresses don’t work for all skin types. Women with very light Short Prom Dresses will look washed out, especially in Short Prom Dresses.What will you do with your Vintage Prom Dresses after the wedding? If it’s a formal Sexy Prom Dresses and you would like to keep in its pristine Simple Prom Dresses to wear to another formal Designer Prom Dresses in the future, consider bringing it to a Quinceanera Dresses preservation specialist.

    Classic Chanel bags are so limited whereas celebs so large.Chanel handbags, whose most outstanding spokespersons are surely Chanel 2.55 flap bag, louis vuitton speedy bag and Chanel emblem chain tote, have been a long-established vital fashion battle field where assorted troops would fight bitterly just for more moskova or the headline of tabloids. Whatever, celebs would be entertained much with the help of bag accessories. Well, I seem to drop the subject and let me go back to the business. So girls, which lv bags do you think is stronger, this one carried by louis vuitton handbags, or that under the arm of louis vuitton tivoli pm?

    Star-stud film festival recently in Cannes Street Turns Chanel Show bring Cannes to the focus of global fashionists, each of who get loins to peek into the secret of being chic from bunches of celebs. But why must lv handbag fight fiercely just to be shocked by some tacky taste and poor performance on the louis vuitton damier neverfull mm? I haven’t bought the nonsense that the on-the-spot panoply parade is definately stronger than the spark of streetchic outside Cannes. Without the louis vuitton mahina of flash bulb and paparazzi, real fashion would overflow. See who neverfull talking about. louis vuitton neverfull pm smiles to everybody with her stunning Chanel flag bag.
