- Please consider the following questions seriously. It is my attempt to
- to understand whether what you advocate has a chance at success.
-
-
- What criteria would you use?
-
- How would you obtain the data you need to make a decision?
-
- How fast could you get the relevant information?
-
- What training or qualifications do you need to make a decision?
-
- What would be the probability of making the wrong decision?
-
- If you make the wrong decision, what would your responsibility be?
-
- ===============
- Keep in mind that the wrong decision could be to deny as well as allow.
- Either way, lives could be in jeopardy.
