Data crunching vs Intuition
I’ve been reading these kinds of polemics about analysis outperforming expertise/intuition for years and they strike me as silly, like the fantasy tournaments children sometimes invent: Can a lion beat a shark? (It might depend on whether they were fighting above or below the waterline.) Who would win, a superhero with infinite strength or one with infinite cunning? (It might depend on the rules of the contest and the resources available to the contestants.)
Gary Klein guest-blogging on Cognitive Edge.
I always encourage people who enjoyed Blink to read Gary Klein’s Sources of Power and/or The Power of Intuition. Dave Snowden puts it well when he says they have the readability of Blink, but with intellectual vigor added in for good measure and without trivialisation for journalistic effect.
