The social default inspires conformity. It coaxes us to fall in line with an idea or behavior simply because other people do. It embodies what the term “social pressure” refers to: wanting to belong to the crowd, fear of being an outsider, fear of being scorned, fear of disappointing other people.

“The data is there to help you have a *conversation* - see discrepancies and surprises, help validate assumptions, debate interpretations. You must never lose sight of the qualitative vision and user empathy - the data is there to augment it, not replace it. That's why you use data to inform your decisions, not drive them.” - comment from [Assaph Mehr](https://www.linkedin.com/in/assaph/) on a post I did on this topic.
Data-Informed, NOT Data-Driven

Time is the friend of someone who is properly positioned and the enemy of someone poorly positioned. When you are well positioned, there are many paths to victory. If you are poorly positioned, there may be only one. You can think of this a bit like playing *Tetris*. When you play well, you have many options for where to put the next piece. When you play poorly, you need just the right piece.
