It sounds nice, but when I think about what exactly is meant by "long tail" I can't come up with an answer that would be compatible with the idea of the "long tail" in statistics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_tail http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_tail).
It does sounds better than just "in the long run, throughout history, just following orders is wrong". It seems like it's referring to people who are outliers and through which all the change is happening, but technically it's not really saying that. No ?
- ISL 13y ago"In the long tale of history..." may resolve your concerns?
- gyom 13y agoOh, wow, I'm sorry. I should have seen that one. I guess I liked "long tail" and the alternative didn't occur to me. =)
- louthy 13y agoPerhaps, an alternative: "In the long tale of history just following orders is wrong."
