Logic vs Evidence

Damp cupboards in a kitchen

To explain the headline, let me tell you a story.

Sometime ago, my brand-new kitchen cupboards started to rot. I was, not happy, to put it mildly.

We had a damp guy come over, and he said that water was coming in from the windows around the corner and was pooling under the building and seeping up into my cupboards.

Although the logic was sound, I was sceptical, as there was no evidence to suggest that his logic was correct.

I monitored the windowsills over the next few days, as it was raining, and they were bone dry.

The point here is, it's often easy to sit around the boardroom table and come up with various fancy features to add to a system.

Just because they sound good and they have a logic to them, doesn't mean that they will work in practise.

We get many requests for these kinds of features, and often it's stuff that we have deleted from our system because it didn't work in practise.

In our opinion, simplify, simplify, simplify.

You can often get more with less...
