I know if you recorded my conversation I would definately denounce a good portion of it on playback. But consistency is a good thing not only in what one says but also in what one does. You get those anecdotes from politicians saying 'I was misquoted' or 'I was quoted out of context'. Part of the ability to do it right lies in character while the other part may lie in practice. Whichever way one gets to it the right way, its good to constructively cement what comes out to public - perhaps before - as a practice.
So that you may not run the risk of being caught out somewhere else between the actual and the variance, you must pick out your position more carefully and considerably. An analysis of the facts may give you the needed finality if you must make your submissions with authority. In the absence of relieble facts on a matter, you may choose to deliberately leave gaps and holes that you may fill up later. Say life is good with a 'user exit'.
Whether it is a prediction of score in a game, an investigation of definate facts such as meanings of words, suggesting a desirable solution in a matter or just giving a commitment on a wayward-by-the-way issue, it is wise to internally record your thoughts and play them back in the background before playing it to the public.
You can catch that aspect with 'Fergie' - my colleague who has systematically weathered the storm that prior had blown others before him away. And that reminds me. The other one once said he will not use that 'mumu' because he was not there at the training. It has come to pass that Fergie has realised that the best way to reduce the stupidity of this tool they call LSMW is by running a single record batch first and see if it 'completes' without 'displaying errors only'. You run a similar batch inwardly before releasing your 'facts'.
I am predicting that Harambee Stars will either win at Rufaro or draw. They are capable of springing 'surprises'. But should they not win I will have the reason of an 'unfamiliar' ground to blame for it. And the fact that Oboya and Mariga have missed out on the trip. I have planned my user exit.
