– By Gordon Bell DEC & Heidi
Mason Regis McKenna
– When you can measure what you are
speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something
about it: but when
you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind: it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you
have scarcely, in
your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science.
