We make thousands of decisions every day. Some are more meaningful and require more thought and varying degrees of research. Of course tw's standard response is you have to have the facts and numbers.
Well duh, that would make life so much easier, but getting the right facts and right numbers isn't that easy. Pre-internet is was fucking near impossible unless you had connections in that field. The internet has been a help but still a minefield of misinformation and outright bullshit. Even with the ability to access the right information it might take days, weeks, even months to get it. Ain't nobody got time for that. Yeah, yeah the children's health is worth investing the time, nobody will argue that, but that's what people like Jinx did. Whether you agree with her conclusion or not, you can not justifiably claim she didn't try to do the best for her kids. Hindsight is usually 20-20, but even then it's not always possible.

And when we do not have perspective (numbers are just one example), then we take extreme care. And make a guess only after accessing the risk. BTW, why is the Silicon Valley so innovative? They make mistakes. Then do not get angry. Instead they learn why they made a mistake. That was the point lost when some, instead, well, it will be explained.
