Prematurely judging ideas when they're under developed based on a conjecture that the limited context you have so far indicates they "can't work" is also harmful, because it simply excludes the fact there may be some data you fai= led to consider that makes it work. Hence, it is often effective to intentionally extend through insane ideas as a thought exercise, in the assumption that you will discover a final pie= ce of the puzzle along the way, and then only judge the ideas once you've gott= en to a point you *must* start implementing something. Culling the ideas before you even sit down and implement things leads to th= e worst decision making. It is the very definition of "Short sighted" --Sig_/pDZLxwSc/Gi4xARRMzo3n/P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEPZazbI/qrFT1o9rn6FQySxNmqCAFAliE5oQACgkQ6FQySxNm qCAmCxAAmfamEtEuw8tdH2pov2qr5Ex5Ye/h0EVYVvXNxzrTPAjeXiR9wYigNLlN OHYjUJp5lpfFNdu9NmQA/MPl5ZDsufxR/K1x/smppaNSqg0fRZD7FUpfYQuU0aad /MmNw2elY5wH+owInwtqOH/i300/LfIFnXJX8j4LFJIcV9VmzwDgCLJ3b9Kp/zdZ J30YTRfUDngqIyDyRN3tvi1/Dvz6LQZgoGiUEc/k3nBsrSFT7HUr/WlK08DMSxlW sJuDYAcCfIx/jWBGGPS0iwOYc2zeMBWc/W5enXD21cXtLGWbW+1/Vh0bE0NbE4GJ vfn2xkV4SmZWEVw1byEy+ahrACwI48LBpfUG9JVYi0qLAPFFJHeT1GWDv2KMygQ7 ab74mH1i7FbJduWFnEKQiV41412z0ZC+sAGF62SGMRb7Skq9akRwhWy2kyuMGtZn CroaaIowFvFrYKumj2gW0sbDBXnIDZR1cSpsz7Oq/G9EtrKKV0yjzsZjuZ00quly e4MfvVMh21kaMX5rRCrFtKAbYrNzyjjB20r8yU/aJPJ/O6yZuKuaGXFajfMIKkT4 Jlw4GadExkY1d491K0J2VMIG+JRw31qZUgz464rxyUa84zQFMkdlbMcU3wrtYMNj 0sqhkpbvCxFZPNGW1G2/Cnum71CvEadP/jw7Ubx/VSjCrwzj1Ao= =l/y5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/pDZLxwSc/Gi4xARRMzo3n/P--
