Perils of Too Much Information

Intriguing piece by Malcolm Gladwell in the current New Yorker. Enron, intelligence, and the perils of too much information. He positions mysteries versus puzzles. Is a mystery just a puzzle with missing information, or missing understanding of a model? Simplistic in its conclusions, but thought provoking. Via Alex Pang, of the Institute for the Future, who comments on this as it might relate to the business of future forecasting.
