Saw an interview with Demming once where he said something like: "you can't get reliable forecasts from an unpredictable system, and a predictable system is predictable so you don't need forecasts." Of course more in the context of manufacturing, but I liked the Cruijffian wisdom.
Unfortunately not Paulo. I tried looking it up before as I wanted to provide a link. It's somewhere in the video material that exists of Demming on YouTube. I had a Demming binge a few years ago where I watched anything I could get my hands on. I'm very sure he said it, can't trace back when / where.

That's honestly a mind blowing quote. Do you happen to have a pointer to that particular interview, Rieks?

No worries. I’ll come to it eventually. Thanks for the reply anyway. 🙂
