"We are only ready to undertake a piece of work when we have completed that piece of work. Doing the task prepares us to do the task: we are learning on the job. So, clearly, we don't understand how to do the job until we've already done it." -- Robert Fripp, 2008-11-21 [ thanks to acroyear70 for pointing it out]

[Compare to the dictum that the military is always prepared to fight the last war, and recent observations that the only people with job experience that makes them really prepared to be president are ex-presidents.]
