JD, another great week! This was the most thought provoking, for me, in a while. The poem was one I had not previously known, so that alone was worth it! I agree with everything you wrote, and am amazed that anyone as cool as you would quote JP-5! I do ponder if all objectives can be back engineered, and ā€œpre-seenā€. It isnā€™t a counter argument (of which too many of my comments may seemā€¦.), but rather an exploration of when a mechanical plan works best, and when it might be neutral or inhibit exploitation of fleeting opportunities. The tension between discipline and the good part of impulsivity. Thought provoking, thank you! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. On a side note, I just finished a long two weeks on a job I was not enthused about toward the end. I used the slow periods to balance on one leg, then the other. Getting better!
