• A Good Question -- In a newsgroup disussion, regarding possible unintended consequences in a current topic too political to get into on this weblog, this comment came up from a writer and TV producer I respect...
"So I guess the question before us is not so much 'Does the end justify the means?' as 'Does the means assure the end?'"
Not only applicable to the important question at hand, but applicable to many business decisions as well. Assuring that the means get to the desired ends is what Future Reality Trees and Negative Branch Reservations are all about.
