Haven't read the book, but the write-up was pretty interesting. Basically the premise is that different types of people place varying degrees of importance on different kinds of reasons.
Basically, we engineering types will read an article or see a news story and immediately ask to see the statistics that support their conclusion. Another type of person (HR people?) will not be as concerned with the facts but how the characters involved are treated.
What do y'all think?
