Even with a scout mentality there is the problem of modeling the deck of 
alternative scenarios that arise from uncertainty in a map.    The tendency to 
take imputed values for a set of unknown variables is a practical cognitive 
resource limitation that one can acknowledge or fail to acknowledge.    To 
challenge a person’s gut feeling -- all those imputed values -- and to observe 
the exasperation (even perceived persecution) that may result from the 
challenge is how I distinguish scouts from soldiers.   There are surely some 
tactical benefits to soldiers running toward the enemy with their bayonets to 
not spend a lot of time reflecting on how confident they are that the person 
they are running toward is their enemy.

Rad, just ordered a copy. Yeah, capsaicin might be easier, but this will do 
just fine to get me agitated. Where's my soapbox.
