podcasters looking for a working, if not correct, business model

podcast-logo.png Today we have an enlightening quote from Kelvin Throop III. I have no idea who Throop is. His name and his quotes are all over the net but damned if I can find a biography. I think Throop maybe a pseudonym or nom de plum for a science fiction writer.

Anyway here is a the quote:

"Celestial navigation is based on the premise that the Earth is the center of the universe. The premise is wrong, but the navigation works. An incorrect model can be a useful tool.'

Kelvin Throop III"

I like this quote because it reminds me that just because a model works doesn't mean it is correct.
