Default Re: Why People Claim Chains Of Deduction Don\'t Work For Human Issues

Who makes that claim, maybe a few but not many? generally those who disagree with you think you have analysed the issue incorrectly.

There's the danger of the management fallacy. Management works on things they can measure so they find something they can measure, work on it (hopefully correctly) and then make decisions based on it. All the time forgetting that the thing they can measure often doesn't reflect very well the thing they were supposed to manage in the first place.

but try telling them that.
