Any tool we can use to help with our businesses are just that--tools--they are not made to serve as saviors. I've been dabbling with MuVar, an analysis program created by James Brausch. I'm a bit of a datahead, so all the stats I can get I just gobble up, but I agree that we need to use common sense and look at the big picture to use these tools accurately and wisely. I also agree.

Detail will eliminate most problems caused by averages, i've been using Nemeas and RaSof to help build my online business. This has certainly helped with starting on the right foot... Hi Craig,

"He's a heavy clicker." ;) Anyway, I agree that averages hide problems. To optimize something, instead of starting with the big picture the best approach is often the opposite - to start at the most fine grained level possible and look for problems there. These are the problems that will get hidden in averages. This reminds me of something you’d hear on Seinfeld. “He’s a heavy clicker.” ;)
