Nine Lies About Work

A note on detail: there is a difference between detail-focussed attention, and attention to a whole which causes an anomalous detail to stand out. The first starts from details and never arrives at a Gestalt, thus missing the significance of an anomaly; the second starts with a Gestalt, the very existence of which draws attention to the detail that does not fit. Such a perception may cause the Gestalt to shift: a creative discovery. Details are not unimportant, but their significance becomes apparent only when taking in the whole. And the right hemisphere is our anomaly detector.
