Dr. Russo, as usual you are very precise. As someone who commanded analysts in various police units, I saw how their work is often underappreciated, and I witnessed the mistaken perception of senior commanders who only expect them to 'connect the dots.' Indeed, one of the most important qualities required of them is the ability to doubt. Additionally, from my experience as commander of human intelligence collection officers — those who actually provide the 'dots' to the analysts — I saw many times that the 'dots' are nothing more than rumor. Again, an interesting. and important article
AWESOME!! I couldn't agree more! In fact, I agreed in advance - I hit the same sugject a little while ago ... just not as well, or in as much depth.
Thank you for foot stomping this!

Strong perspective. Critical thinking matters far more than simply connecting the dots.
