Quote
From John Klossner cartoon in Computerworld (quoted with his permission).
Cartoon shows an applicant sitting at a desk in front of a manager
or HR person, who says:
I am a little surprised. With such extensive experience in predictive
analytics, you should have known we wouldn't hire you.
See http://www.jklossner.com/TechToons/index.html

Thanks to Ronny Kohavi for pointing this cartoon.
