Hubert’s Error

Hubert’s Error: “Human knowledge is messy not neat and tidy. Knowledge discovery is serendipitous, not planned. It is just not good enough to say that people can volunteer to join centrally determined systems. That is volunteering in the sense of the drill sergeant. It is a lot better to allow order to emerge bottom up from a fairly messy environment. It costs less, it is more likely to work and above all in reflects the way that people naturally work.”
