Dr. Orsini on examples



I remember at the next to last 4 day conference Dr. Deming gave (Richmond, VA).  I stood up very proud and asked him if he could give examples of so and so.  A great question I thought.  Dr. Deming just let me stand there in silence - it seemed like 5 minutes before he finally solicited another question from the audience.  I still can't say that I understand what was there, but I think it has something to do with the idea that no number of examples "proves" a theory. I'll never forget standing there like a sore thumb.  He did it for a reason.  I imagine Joyce Orsini has a well thought out reason for saying what she said about plumbing examples.

Wouldn't it be a treat if Joyce would share her thinking here?  She could brighten most of the threads here in the DEN.
