Quote from Swan Noir:

Interesting that the most valued people in almost any large organization (and many smaller ones) are those that have top flight negotiating skills. The top of the heap were those that are tasked with negotiating arms reduction treaties involving nuclear states. The numbers guys are frequently important but sometimes as staff not principals.

Again, those in the hard sciences mistake precise calculations for skill. It is dealing with what is imprecise that requires skill of the highest order. The best poker player I ever met said to me once: "Once you get to no-limit all the numbers become secondary."

convincing someone you have a hand is just as good as having it.

You might get the money but does that mean the job gets done?

the part I like is the dissapointment on your face when they are convinced you didn't hit. Once they see it, they count you out and bet like gangbusters.
