when you cross the street, you remove data
More data--such as paying attention to the eye colors of the people around when crossing the street--can make you miss the big truck.
the following passage from N.N. Taleb made me think of my Garmin watch with its 48 vital signals that I get after a 3-mile run.
More data--such as paying attention to the eye colors of the people around when crossing the street--can make you miss the big truck. When you cross the street, you remove data, anything but the essential threat.
(Nassim N. Taleb, Antifragile)
Also, the higher the number of non-essential employees in a company, the higher the number of "vital signals" that will be produced and analyzed.
