Nose and fallacy

Since the nose, of any type, is the measures under our model, the question would always arise as to its ability in ferreting out the truth. That is, who knows whose nose knows best.

That power and money trump much is a telling tale. Somehow we need to bolster an independent view that cannot be brokered or bought.

The 'ludic fallacy' of Taleb points to one mode of discussion. Elsewhere, much has been said about abstractions and gaming, albeit that the latter is in the context of our financial world.

In terms of a program, one would think that levels of management, or involvement, would be characterized by different nose functions. For instance, that the CEO sees a different picture than does the program manager who has to deal with details of problems is obvious.

So, in determining truth, role needs some attention as well as do other factors.

In any case, the nose would tell us what stinks, mainly.
