Over the past few weeks I’ve had the misfortune to sit through endure quite a few presentations. I’ve found the same thought running through my head – ‘a string of assertions does not make a compelling case’. In fact, a string of assertions does not even make a framework for a compelling case!
And then I found this…

Michael Mauboussin
It’s much more elegant than my thoughts, but seems to get to the heart of the issue quite nicely! (Thanks to Mark Sanborn for the quotation.)
