Taleb repeatedly strikes me as over rated. The difference between narrative and time is as old as the gods and can easily be argued both ways. People who adhere to time and conplexity don't get a free pass on the fundamentals. The project will spring leaks if you get the story wrong. Information will slip out, people will get the wrong idea and go in opposite directions. You can blame those errors on randomness, but really you just let the basic elements fail by skipping good reasoning. Taleb's point about unconnected thoughts making an oversimplified story really misses the complexity in story and the massive filtering efforts that go into making good stories. He's pandering at best with these ideas.
