I confuse people by saying this but long since I concluded in project
management that whatever I thought was going on probably was not and that I
should look again further and still not believe any conclusions that I might
come up with. Remember, I am not an engineer of objects, but a manager of
souls. I admit this opens to a lot of complications, but the wait-and-see
approach to suspended belief usually ends up getting me closer to a semblance
of a realistic action and either enhancing my foolishness, or keeping me from
doing something that people think is really dumb. This has to have a
correlation somewhere with empirical investigation, but I have not yet made a
conclusion. Along with this is the understanding that DOING NOTHING is an
action. When really flustered in a wallow of fuzzy logic I flip a coin.
