I smell CSAPs
Posted by Dave on 2007/02/15
I’m reading Michael Pollan’s fascinating (and sometimes terrifying) look at food in the U. S., The Omnivore’s Dilemma. He says (p. 147):
The problem is that once science has reduced a complex phenomenon to a couple of variables, however important they may be, the natural tendency is to overlook everything else, to assume that what you can measure is all there is, or at least all that really matters.
To assume that what you can measure is all that really matters. Hmm, must be time for the CSAPs again.
