The 10% is just enough to make everyone remember that the naysayer knows what he's talking about. But even a broken clock is right twice a day, right? Bill – so true.

I like #2. To me it is like the one person in a meeting that raises his or her hand and says, "If we do A, B could happen." Since they always bring up the negative outlier possibilities, 10% of the time they are right and they pull an "I told you so" moment. 10% is easily forgotten if it doesn’t come to pass, but its just enough to show up on the radar just in case. Brett,
