A good statement of the problem takes you more than half way to the
solution.
That was a favourite saying of the late John Fay, historian, one-time
head of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's
Economics and Statistics department, and one of the myriad people who
worked on implementing the Marshall Plan. And right he was, provided
that the 'good statement' is constructed within a relevant framework.
The opposite holds true too: analyse a problem using an inappropriate
framework, and you will almost certainly end up with a blunder.

Right now, I'd settle for a small picture, or any picture at all. The
more I hear, the more I think that we don't have a clue as to what is
going on there.

no mention of a god in his book on astronomy: "Sire,
I have no need of that hypothesis."
