- msbarnett 16y agoColumbus knew where he was going. And would have died trying to get there, if he hadn't serendipitously run into something else, first.
- l0nwlf 16y agoBut he misjudged that something else (America) with his original destination (India). Quoting from wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus): "Amerigo Vespucci's travel journals, published 1502-4, convinced Martin Waldseemüller that the discovered place was not India, as Columbus always believed, but a new continent"
- momotomo 16y agoNot sure this takes into account everyone else who died at sea. Occasional serendipitous results are to be expected, but don't represent what is probably a large body of associated failures to this approach.
- zaidf 16y agoAlso not always true. Think Twitter. Taken out of context. Twitter wasn't a result of good or bad QA. In fact, it's got nothing to do with that.
