Blog Editor’s Note – Most of our readers are already saying to themselves “this is about Lightsquared/Ligado.” Yes. Yes it is.
Couple things to remember about “evidence based”:
- Different people can look at the same facts and reach different conclusions.
- A lot of people assume that if we just understand a problem better, it will solve itself. It won’t. Establishing the facts is just the first step in resolving/solving a problem.
- Many problems aren’t solvable. But most can at least be managed. As a rule, people and governments tyr to solve problems and move on. They don’t want to take the time and energy to manage something day to day.
