But it is the bane of psychology to suppose that where results are similar, processes must be the same. Psychologists are too apt to reason as geometers would, if the latter were to say that the diameter of a circle is the same thing as its semi-circumference, because, forsooth, they terminate in the same two points.
William James
When I came to the CIA in the mid-'90s, our graduating class of case officers was unbelievably low.

George Tenet

Henry David Thoreau
