Comment on Don't Read History for Lessons

Comments

When I go back to the top list like "1. Good managers cannot ‘manage anything’. Specialisation counts", it seems like this is the sort of conclusion you can also draw if you have multiple "prototypes" in your head, which come from reading more history. (Whether they're actually true or not, it seems.) So, the conclusion here is "don't extrapolate from a dataset of 1". It seems like this was an awfully roundabout way of getting there.
