One has a vested right to an asset that cannot be taken away by any
third party, even though one may not yet possess the asset.

Consequently, it is not a measure of assets, but of investment.

Information cascades are fragile because new information can overturn a
long-standing behavioral trend. Because people are rational, they realize
that their behavior is based on limited information and are willing to
change. Thus, even though a thousand people may have chosen one
action, a single new piece of information can induce people to
subsequently choose a different action.

Often the deeper problem hinted by a code smell can be uncovered when
the code is subjected to a short feedback cycle where it is refactored in
small, controlled steps, and the resulting design is examined to see if
there are any further code smells that indicate the need of more
refactoring. From the point of view of a programmer charged with
performing refactoring, code smells are heuristics

An expansive view is that almost everything one perceives acts as an anchor,
in the sense that perceiving it tends to trigger reflexively some thought or feeling or response.

Kodpese like a
Pokett.’ So sewn,
So sown, doubting

Thomas Aquinas fever-
Tree-rack’d, pester’d
By the scurrilous

Droll ‘daunce’ of
What the wind
Carries off, chaff

Of mandibula, speech
Put down for
Naught, the ‘severall

Fallaxes and elenches
Of them.’ So it
Be, writ city

Word-fluvial, its
Misshapen escarpments, its
Hoist and drivel.

One pounds together
A momentary mayhem,
And goes off.

Type irretrievability, its kcheck noise
Hitting the firing bucket whilst
The rollers sweep and pivot,
Platen to lock-up, lock-
Up to ink. Seeing a
Gadabout, a gimp of delivery,
A khaki-pant’d boy with
A bouquet of jasmine achieving
A porch. Or seeing mocks
What it cannot see, a
Clown with a lash saying
Lug you’sef ovah heah,ya
Venereal fat and cupiditous one.
Calls unsatisfactory and earthly, bound up
In practical making, countersinking nail-
Heads, stuffing sphagnum into wounds,
Finding a plover’s egg under
A tump. One’s out in
The continual hungry world, indubitably
Motz, undeniably son, feverish for
Something beyond the wiry armature
Of the sensual.

certain of the difficulties encountered with Gallie’s proposition may be due
a consequence of the unintended conflation of two separate domains
associated with the term concept:

(a) the concepts (the abstract, ideal notions themselves), and

(b) the conceptions (the particular instantiations, or realizations of those
ideal and abstract notions).

In essence, Hart (1961), Rawls (1971), Dworkin (1972), and Lukes (1974)
distinguished between the "unity" of a notion and the "multiplicity" of its
possible instantiations.

situation is in evidence in everyday life, however, whenever
attention is fixated with a question or an experience of the amazing, the
unusual, or anything that holds a person's interest. At such moments
people experience the common everyday trance; they tend to gaze off to
the right or left, depending upon which cerebral hemisphere is most
dominant (Baleen, 1969) and get that faraway or blank look. Their eyes
may actually close, their bodies tend to become immobile (a form of
catalepsy), certain reflexes (e.g., swallowing, respiration, etc.) may be
suppressed, and they seem momentarily oblivious to their surroundings
until they have completed their inner search on the unconscious level for
the new idea, response, or frames of reference that will restabilize their
general reality orientation. We hypothesize that in everyday life
consciousness is in a continual state of flux between the general reality
orientation and the momentary microdynamics of trance... ---Milton H. Erickson

Because it is uncomfortable to experience bad thoughts and urges,
shame, doubt or fear, the initial reaction is usually to do something to
make the feelings diminish.

While finding cryptographic errors in a crypto-primitive such as the DES may require deeper knowledge of mathematics, timing is relatively easy.
And measuring response time for a specific query might give away relatively large amounts of information.

Indeed there is a danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge
he will lose sight of what is essential. But on the other hand, knowledge of
an apparently trivial detail quite often makes it possible to see into the
depth of things. And so the wise man will seek to acquire the best possible
knowledge about events, but always without becoming dependent upon
this knowledge. To recognize the significant in the factual is wisdom.
