I found it aimless. I think he wanted to write the book before he had any content for it.

Agreed. It's an interesting concept, but he doesn't flesh out exactly how or when to apply it.

For example, in the very first chapter he seems to make the books most important point. Art experts could "intuitively" spot a fake sculpture when more analytic techniques by scientists who were non-experts could not.

Well, this is intuitively obvious - they are experts and have a ton of experience. Some things come very quickly to them. But it doesn't mean we should all make quick decisions.

A later example in the book - police make a snap decision and shoot and kill a man who is "acting suspiciously" but is in fact completely innocent.

Conclusion? Sometimes you should decide quickly. And sometimes you shouldn't.

Thanks.
