I think that your last point is correct - I've been thinking of a follow-up post that touches on that exact issue. The Gawande link is great - I've not read that particular article yet so thanks. I'm a big fan of his - I've used his ideas in a couple of different posts here... Thanks for the comment & link Lanny.

It's not just to experiment but which experiments and when. How do the results of one feed into which experiment is tried next?

They only way to gain wisdom is by doing. Without doing, nothing can be gained. Let's keep it that simple and gain this understanding and then we will not have to come up with so many concepts and models of how we learn. Experimentation is simply doing and limiting the potential for damage if error or unexpected results. Wisdom is gained by doing and sometimes innovation is achieved. It is so simple, I wonder who thought of it first? It is so simple. They only way to gain wisdom is by doing. Without doing, nothing can be gained.
