If I seem to have answers, that would be incorrect. On the other hand, a shrink once told me "You are a man. Men by nature want to build and fix things". I have a hard time arguing with her pronouncement, as I have spent my entire life figuring out problems for people and fixing them.
When presented with a problem and symptom, I try to eliminate factors in common with other similar systems that don't display the symptom, and isolate the factors which rest solely with the faulty system. Therein almost always the problem is found.
For example, let us postulate 25 people show up at the ER with food poisoning. We research their food choices, and find out all 25 ate chicken the night before. Common factor, no? But not enough. 1.5 million other people ate chicken the night before, and did not get food poisoning.
Obviously, it's not *all* chicken that's the problem, so we then ask those people *where* they got their chicken from. Oh.... all 25 had the roast chicken special at Casa De BockBock on 38th street. Now we have a localized common factor with the problem.
Clearly, we need to check out the food handling at Case De BockBock, as that's where the problem is. The other 1.5 Million people who ate chicken don't need to have their lives disrupted over this.... but the people working at Casa De BockBock have to answer to the 25 people they put in the hospital.
It was never the chicken at fault, and it never is. It's ALWAYS the humans involved.
Unless of course there is a politician involved who couldn't care less about sick people, and loves nothing more than a few bodies to shout over in their never ending quest for power over the damn chicken eating peasants.
