1 ## On doing science 2 3 ### Mysteries vs puzzles 4 https://adcontrarian.blogspot.com/2020/04/puzzles-and-mysteries.html 5 6 [locally_saved_post](file:/home/beau/dox/surfed/puzzles-and-mysteries.html) 7 8 "Puzzles ... are problems for which there is not enough information. ... Mysteries are problems for which we have plenty of information, but no accurate analysis." 9 10 Gladwell gives an example of WWII, spies vs. the "screwball division." Spies went to gather more information, screwball division analyzed already available data. Screwball division figured out the V-1 rocket had been developed, had been stalled, and accurately projected when it would be finished. 11 12 It seems like much of medical ML is this - we have SO MUCH data, but it hasn't been properly cleaned and analyzed. It's also often siloed and unavailable to the "screwball division." 13 14 Fri 24 Apr 2020 08:13:53 AM CDT
