Quick Notes duh duh deux

After listening to the man who called me Rafael (note to self: improve habla espanol, for crissakes), I now wonder how far the rigor just keeps the organizational body healthy, and how much it just keeps it busy.

I used to think:
good information ancestry
decision support > requires concise information analysis > requires well edited information publication > requires wide ranging information collection > requires well structured reporting to be generated > requires well defined reporting templates > requires clear dissemination of guidelines including templates > requires well articulated process > requires well articulated business

but now its not so linear or methodical. perhaps more like:
good decision support > implies analysis or gut instinct sometimes within ethical frameworks > sometimes drawn from publications or in person briefings > drawn sometimes from data collection > requires information to be shared or stolen

is this too cynical? but I see the way the world is governed and its not far off.

only previous edit to thought was reinforced evidence of all parties gaming information systems wherever they can, in both the fun and dark sense.
