This writing seemeth to me … not much better than the noise or sound which musicians make while they are tuning their instruments - Francis Bacon The Advancement of Learning
When you hear or read some advice, a theory, a conjecture, ask - ask first what problem are they trying to solve? Then ask, Has the author identified the root cause of the problem? Then seek to determine if the suggested solutions or insights are connected in any way to the root causes of the problem? Or are they providing some actionable insight that would not be present before?
If the answers are NO, then those presenting this information have a solution looking for a problem to solve.
