202. The McNamara Fallacy
John Kennedy's Secretary of Defence, Robert McNamara, was a metrics expert who did his best to reshape the United States military using data. His methods failed utterly when it came to fighting the Vietnam War quite possibly because he was relying on the wrong data. The data he really needed was simply not available so he judged it unimportant.
