Sid Fernwilter channeling Nassim Taleb

Russ Roberts, ur transkriberingen av den mycket intressanta podcasten med Robert Jerven om framsteg i Afrika (liknelsen hämtad från Nassim Taleb, och omnämns även i ett av Econtalken med honom):

[T]hey are trying to drive [...] from Washington, D.C. to New York. They are struggling; they are off the main road. And finally one of them says: Good news; I just found a map. Oh, thank goodness, a map. Unfortunately it's a map of Paris. But somebody says: Well, that's okay. Some map is better than no map.
