Being Sidetracked

• Focus on your goal
• Is the current argument relevant to it?
• Watch for red-herrings
  • Arguments that are not relevant, or only marginally relevant
  • But that are true
  • And hence hard to argue with
  • Especially things you care about
• The indispensable syndrome -
  • No-one else can do this job
  • No-one will do it as well as you do
