OK it’s a little long but this is a
fascinating article, although esoteric in parts. Particularly interesting was
how to figure out how to strengthen an airplane against harm. Read it a couple
of times and get more. You’ll wind up reliving experiences of your past.

Subject: [LML] Figuring out how
not to do things wrong.
The subject of this email may seem a bit awkwardly worded, but it's the
essence of an article (link below), from a blog called You Are Not So Smart, A Celebration of Self Delusion.
It's a long read, but a very interesting one about a phenomenon known in
scientific circles as "survivorship bias."
