Own Facts

They say that you cannot have your own facts, and anything that proves you wrong is fake (in one way or another). But just like mixing a cake (not a mix from a box that is), or making some kind of technology work, things have a specific combination.

A problem we face, say with a software application misbehaving, is not really a mystery. It has an answer. It can be discovered if that is the actual objective. But, many times, we want the mystery. We want to be dismissive and push back.

It is the narrative people touting their own spin that they actually want.

In any case, we need and want to be productive. To do that we can try to stick with the specifics of making the cake. We can know that a software program type was coded to function in specific ways, and solving the problem is following the design to find what broke.

And if others do not want to go there, how productive can you and your organization actually be with them?
