Imprescision

It occurred to me that much of life is dominated by imprecision. Those of us involved in the pursuit of science (that wily escapee evades us at every turn) tend to have a more exact view of the world. People are gauged in the scientific world by their accomplishments, their ability to analyze and measure. Measurements are often objective and precise. In the soft world of business this is hardly ever the case. People are gauged by what they say or how they say it. The measure is highly subjective and therein lies the rub. It is impossible to compare except through the prism of subjectivity. If a person makes a good impression on the right person then the job is done. Its not like rationality and logic fails to exist in this world. Its just that all of this is superceded by the most important concept of all - communication. People who relate, communicate, appeal and emote do best in this world. Apparently I suffer from a debilitating illness in this respect for I will abruptly terminate this thought. Derail this train and end this post.
