"Stupid Book"

Argh. I've just spent a good five minutes trying to decipher a paragraph in a book on strategic decision making, on decision analysis.

They were trying to tell me the two ways of using decision anaylsis. After wading through twaddle about 'analytical framework', it turns out they were trying to tell me that the two ways were to analyse yourself, and to anaylse someone else.

Thanks a lot for that.

I guess that's what happens when you try to turn a short article into a whole book.
It completely sucks.


I was planning to have finished extracting information from it by sunrise. I'm not sure I'll make it now.
