Steve Sailer (guest) meinte am 4. Jan, 13:02:
Mystery vs. Puzzle is reversed
I liked Gladwell's distinction between insufficient facts and inadequate analysis, but calling the former a "puzzle" and the latter a "mystery" is pretty much backward from how people normally use the words. In a murder mystery, the detective has to dig up lots of clues. In puzzles, the facts are all in front of you normally, but you have to figure out the solution.
