Alm...Most people aren't good with complexity. <br /><br />Almost all of us like complicated analyses presented to us as "executive summaries".<br /><br />It's even nicer when the simplification fits into a meme that we already understand and like, in either the hopeful or the schadenfreudian senses. <br /><br />Instant classification allows us to stop thinking about complexity much sooner, and get back to whatever we'd otherwise prefer to be thinking about.<br /><br />An analyst who insists that his audience pay rapt attention to complicated details that confound a simple analysis, soon will have no audience.JWillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243354011523248499noreply@blogger.com
