It should he accepted that fault analysis can he a slow process and that it usually defies prior estimates of the time it will take, regardless of the pressures of persons who are affected hy the interruption of the service. In any case, hasty decisions and random efforts to get the plant working again are to he shunned, since more damage may result. 

Correctly used, statistics is an essential tool for the analyst. The use of statistical methods can prevent hasty judgements being made on the basis of limited information. It has only been possible in this chapter to give a brief resume of some statistical techniques that may be applied to analytical problems. The approach, therefore, has been to use specific examples which illustrate the scope of the subject as applied to the treatment of analytical data. There is a danger that this approach may overlook some basic concepts of the subject and the reader is strongly advised to become more fully conversant with these statistical methods by obtaining a selection of the excellent texts now available. 

Doing it faster (at some point, the risks of hasty decisions may overwhelm the time saving)...

There is a tremendous financial investment in our agriculture. The place which this country occupies in world leadership today is due in part to our food-producing capacity. To maintain that position at a time when portentous predictions are rife regarding an overpopulated world, we need ever-improved chemical aids, but we must, at the same time, impair neither the quantity nor quality of our orchards and vineyards. Frequently it takes 10 to 20 years or even more before we see the ultimate effects of continued usage of chemicals on plants. The financial and social losses which can result from improper or unduly hasty use of chemicals should temper profits with caution. 

Suddenly I knew that he was not a king but a man, and not even that. He was a boy still, hasty in his desire, driven by what his body spoke of his need, with no thought for the dull aftermath when that need was fulfilled. I was his elder by but five years I had known one man, and he many women. They were perhaps dazzled into yielding by his height, his smile, his gilded skin, his crown. But I had not yielded back in the orchard, and I would not now, for I had learned in years of wedlock what it seemed he had not in his bachelorhood, not even from all those yielding women how desire, held in check, feeds on itself and grows. If I could hold him back... 

With the public dazzled by color and companies desperate to survive, factors such as clean air, pure water, and workers safety paled in importance. In a hasty pencil sketch of his family factory in England, Perkin drew one- or two-story buildings with tall brick chimneys and smoke blowing merrily out their tops. Water for the Perkins factory came from an artesian well, and waste was, no doubt, dumped in the handy canal.
