Nice. i will remember this' one. Apropos, in the famous (i.e.. notorious) Israeli intelligence there is a special unit called "Just the Opposite" (the name is in fact much nicer, it's in ... Aramaic: איפכא מסתברא, which means something like: "in fact - it is the opposite"). Well, the function of these analysts is the following: whenever there is a an important assessment regarding some major event, or development, and the assessment says A, this "Just the Opposite" unit gives a counter-assessment, -A. It appears that reality is often explained just as good with -A as with A. I like this idea. (Only one question remains: if the intelligence is so good and we are all so super-intelligent, why are we [-we?] in such a deep s-h-i-t?, Or as the saying - now fallen out of fashion - goes: "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" I saw it on the poster of "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz", a film I haven't seen).
