Policy paranoia Do policies create good practice or protect the organization from known bad habits of users?
"Scientists are people of very dissimilar temperaments
doing different things in very different ways. Among scientists are collectors,
classifiers and compulsive tidiers-up; many are
detectives by temperament and many are explorers; some are artists and others artisans. There are poet-scientists and
philosopher-scientists and even a few mystics.”
Peter Medawar
