Fun with aphorisms

Filed under: University Life — cec @ 9:22 pm

I was in a longish meeting today when it occurred to me that it is a military truism that “no plan survives first contact with the enemy.”  Moreover, as Walt Kelly’s Pogo noted, “we have met the enemy and he is us.”  This suggests that no plan survives first contact with its creators.

Most of my meetings bear this out.
