What that gives us are artifacts. It’s a knowledge base that says, ‘When you try this, it works. When you try that, it doesn’t work.’ Now you can give people, literally, a punch-list of things that can make their businesses better.” The problem, is that most investors aren’t equipped to offer this sort of insight.

(I actually don’t agree with what Taleb is saying here).
