RE: 'Blink' Author on Restoring Judgment

I saw Gladwell speak at the Strategic Account Management Association in Dallas this week. I've read Blink and Tipping Point and give him high marks for his insight and speaking abilities.

He gave us a wonderful quote that I think summarizes his beliefs: judgment thrives in the frugality of information. My big takeaway from his SAMA speech is that we are slowly but steadily contributing, through an overreliance on information, to the atrophy of our unique abilities as humans to exercise good judgment.
