Why the Top Ten Reasons Don't Matter

  1. Reason is highly over-rated.
  2. If you need more data to prove your point, you’ll never have enough data to prove your point.
  3. Analysis paralysis.
  4. You’re going to follow you gut, anyway.
  5. By the time you put your business case together, the market has passed you by.
  6. “Not everything that counts can be counted; and not everything that can be counted counts.” – Albert Einstein
  7. The scientific method came to Rene Descartes in a dream!
  8. Most reasons are collected to prove to others what you have already decided to do.
  9. “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” – G.B. Shaw
  10. I am, therefore I think.
