C. West Churchman Quote
Scientists whose work has no clear, practical implications would want to make their decisions considering such things as:
the relative worth of (1) more observations, (2) greater scope of his conceptual model, (3) simplicity, (4) precision of language, (5) accuracy of the probability assignment.
