Bad Control

DefinitionsBBad Control


a fallacy actually, control is either well done or not done. If a person is controlling something he is controlling it. If he is controlling it poorly, he is not controlling it. A machine which is being run well is controlled. A machine which is not being run well is not being controlled. Therefore we see that bad control is actually a not-control. People who tell you that control is bad are trying to tell you that automobile accidents and industrial accidents are good. (POW, p. 40)
