Stockman was the member of the Reagan staff who was in charge of the budget. He admitted that neither he nor any of the other staff or officials really understood the complexities of the United States budget. It had become so huge and complicated that it is likely that no one person was capable of understanding it any longer. However, Stockman, a brilliant man, has been the only OMB Budget Director to admit his lack of total understanding. He was fired from his job for his candor.
Historically, in the first half of the 20th century, nuclear scientists discovered that probability governed and was necessary for understanding quantum mechanics—the laws of physics governing tiny objects like atoms, electrons, protons and even quarks. To many, this seemed a contradiction in that it was hard to conceive particles following laws and yet behaving randomly at the same time. However, it did not take long before all the scientists adjusted their thinking and learned to live and work with that was then a type of contradiction but is no longer thought so as men and women have learned to think in a new way. This quotation illustrates that the greatest scientists in the world, in a very short period of time, had to change their entire mode of thinking. There were no real holdouts or “conservatives” who wanted to maintain the older values. This would never happen in politics, where change is not accepted very quickly.
Politicians, like many other people, often confuse correlation with causality as few have studied or understand the mathematics of probability.
