In the future instead of striving to be right at a high cost it will be more appropriate to be flexible and plural at a lower cost. If you cannot accurately predict the future then you must flexibly be prepared to deal with various possible futures.

I think my view is that whenever you project into the future you're never likely to be accurate in the details or the paraphernalia and style. It's in the spirit of it.

It's funny. People often compare me to other humor essayists. They're usually quite nice comparisons I will accept those gladly. But I am always sort of appalled at the idea of being lumped with other more chick-y female writers. And the truth is probably that neither comparison is accurate.

Fairness forces you - even when you're writing a piece highly critical of say genetically modified food as I have done - to make sure you represent the other side as extensively and as accurately as you possibly can.

A painstaking course in qualitative and quantitative analysis by John Wing gave me an appreciation of the need for and beauty of accurate measurement.
