I'm certainly guilty of getting partway through books and never returning, but I don't know that if I'd jumped into the data first I would have been so engrossed.
(Obviously this is entirely a personal perspective.)
- chiefalchemist 8y agoEngrossed? Maybe not. But a lot of myths would have been busted. For me, it's about trying to understand an issue, bumping into some ignorant ahole, and being able to say "read this book...read __this chapter__." Few enjoy such books. But more need to be more aware of the (data) truths that define the issue.
