“Watercolour painting is notoriously difficult - so much depends on directness and speed, and certainty of intention. Tentative or fumbling touches are disastrous, for they cannot be obliterated easily.” DifficultPaintingDependsIntentionSpeedCertainty Author:Walter J. Phillips
“Now, the velocity of wave propagation can be seen, without the aid of any mathematical analysis, to depend on the elasticity of the medium and its density; for we can see that if a medium is highly elastic the disturbance would be propagated at a great speed.” IfsWould BeDependsWaveSpeedAidsMediumsMathematicalAnalysisDisturbanceVelocityDensityPropagationElasticityMathematical Analysis Author:Albert A.

“Speed is relative. Does it feel fast going 70 miles per hour down an eight lane highway? No, probably not, but I bet it does if you are going down some single lane dirt road. It's the same in a race car. It depends on the track.” IfsFeelsDoeHoursRaceCarDependsTrackEightSpeedMilesRelativeDirtHighwaysLanesRace CarDirt Roads Author:Kyle Petty
“Apparently there is redundancy in memory: You store the same memory in different parts of your brain for accessing at different speeds. That speed would depend on the frequency of use and the importance of the knowledge.” DifferentUseMemoriesBrainDependsImportanceSpeedStoresFrequencyRedundancy Author:Bill Nye
“To know whether you can trust a particular intuitive judgment, there are two questions you should ask: Is the environment in which the judgment is made sufficiently regular to enable predictions from the available evidence? The answer is yes for diagnosticians, no for stock pickers. Do the professionals have an adequate opportunity to learn the cues and the regularities? The answer here depends on the professionals' experience and on the quality and speed with which they discover their mistakes.” KnowsShouldMadeTwoAsksOpportunityAnswersMistakeQualityEnvironmentParticularDependsJudgmentEvidenceAvailableSpeedPredictionsIntuitiveAdequateRegularityOpportunities To Learn Author:Daniel Kahneman
