Data! Think about this.
It's Saturday.
You and your wife are having her two sisters over for lunch.
You try to decide whether to eat inside or outside on the picnic table.
Your wife says, let's wait til they get here as ask them how they feel.
Jane arrives. You ask her about eating outside or inside.
She replies, "It's such a beautiful day I had to go back to put on shorts and a short sleeve blouse. Let's eat outside."
A few minutes later Sue arrives. You tell her about the plans to eat outside.
She replies, "It's too cold to eat outside. I had to go back to put on slacks and a sweater."
You check the thermometer, The Data reads 72 Degrees (f)
To Jane, it's warm.
To Sue, it's too cold.
The Data says 72.
Data has its limits. That is where thinking begins.
Regards,
Slim.
