The Process of Simplification

According to a recent NST (16th February 2006) news report, scientist have been urged to simplify their findings so information are useful to policy-makers. In other words, scientists who spent 10 years researching on nuclear physics or biomedicine are suppose to summarize everything into one page?!

It never fails to amaze me that politicians and policy makers, who yields great responsibility often make decision with just one piece of paper. That probably explains why landslides happen on our highway, because the Public Work Minister missed out the "Risk assessment' part on the three volume reports by the civil engineer. But then again, politicians always have a tendency to place themselves above God. Blame God if they have too!

"It's an act of God!"

It's crazy indeed
piece of paper sounds like a piece of philosophical lecture notes to crack reader's brain for "try to guess a riddle?". Right..you are lucky...you are safe; wrong? Ah...more and more headaches (typical outcome eh?)

People are lazy to read these days...lack of inquisition perhaps? Wonders won't pay much anymore?
