The Insect-Size Buffalo
An anthropologist studying a tribe that lived in dense jungle took a man named Kenge on a ride to the open plains. “Kenge looked down to where a herd of about a hundred buffalo were grazing some miles away. He asked me what kind of insects they were, and I told him they were buffalo, twice as big as the forest buffalo known to him. He laughed loudly and told me not to tell such stupid stories....”
        Many organizational and personal problems result from an inability
        to tell how big (or how small) something really is.
