two plus two equals seven

Trivial facts can be drawn together at times to give non trivial conclusions. Two pieces of information which might appear to have no security interest can, when added together, provide the reader with a security nugget or loophole. I recall being told (a) that titanium is required for supersonic planes and (b) a military aircraft company that's building the xxx plane has placed a large titanium order. Conclusion - the xxx will be supersonic.

The same thing applies on the web - only more so. So I'm writing another of my entries today in the full knowledge that one or two readers may draw conclusions beyond the apparently simple facts stated.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
