The root of the problem is this—what does best common mean, and how can following the best common produce a set of actions you can be confident will solve your problem?
Bellman and Oorschot say best common practice can mean this is widely implemented. The thinking seems to run something like this: the crowd’s collective wisdom will probably be better than my thinking… more sets of eyes will make for wiser or better decisions. Anyone who has studied the madness of crowds will immediately recognize the folly of this kind of state. Just because a lot of people agree it’s a good idea to jump off a cliff does not mean it is, in fact, a good idea to jump off a cliff.
Perhaps it means something closer to this is no worse than our competitors. If that’s the meaning, though, it’s a pretty cynical Continue reading
