One More Thing

From my hundred or so pages of reading today, a little allegory that I hope to keep with me throughout my career:

It is as if, paraphrasing Aaron Antonovsky's (1923-1994) penultimate lament, the study of why some people swim well and others drown when tossed into a river displaces study of who is tossing whom into the current - and what else might be in the water.
