It was Mitch who said that, Ray, but thanks.
For me, there's no such thing as too much information. Indeed, I've never heard a compelling reason to operate in an information vacuum. I don't trust my senses to tell me the truth - they're no longer as reliable as they once were, and my overly experienced brain can interpret what my senses tell me in any one of a hundred different ways. In short, humans have the ability to talk themselves into or out of almost anything.
Gauges keep me honest.
