From James Clear's Newsletter:
Math teacher Dan Meyer reminds us how to solve problems in the real world:
“What problem have you solved, ever, that was worth solving where you knew all the given information in advance? No problem worth solving is like that. In the real world, you have a surplus of information and you have to filter it, or you don’t have sufficient information and you have to go find some.”

Too much information, not enough information... I'd add "bad information" or "biased" or "partial" information.
I don't know what to do with this quotation now... but it makes me think of teaching and engaging kids. These types of problems are more engaging. They are also a good habit to get into: seeking out problems that are worth solving.
