Daniel Kahneman

Can you see where that might be a little confusing? I dreamed about kissing her last night! What the hell am I supposed to do with that? Stephenie Meyer
If a bell failed to ring, if a stove smoked, if a wheel on a machine stuck, you knew at once where to look and did so with alacrity; you found the defect and knew how to cure it.
