When Being First Is Not the Only Thing
Regular readers and anyone who’s looked at my blogroll, knows that I like Zach Lynch’s consistently insightful blog.
He has been working on a project for four years, and now it appears that someone is coming out with some of the same ideas in a book that is due to arrive in late September.
This does not look to me like plagiarism. Once a new idea is out there, it quickly spreads, and people will run with it.
You might be interested to see some of the comments that I made on Zach’s site.
The other book may be superb. But the important point is that although being first is the only thing in competitive games, in the world of ideas that will help us, being first is not the only thing.
Being correct is the only thing.
