Chapter 20 - MY DAUGHTER LEARNS WHAT DNA MEANS
At eleven, she studied genetics in school.
Dominant traits.
Recessive traits.
DNA.
She came home suspicious.
“Grandma did science wrong.”
I laughed.
“Science was fine. She labeled the people wrong.”
That fascinated her.
“So the test told truth?”
“Yes.”
“About wrong people?”
“Exactly.”
She thought for a long time.
Then:
“That’s sneaky.”
“Yes.”
There was an important lesson in that.
Data can be accurate while the story around it is fraudulent.
My husband later used that example in company compliance training without identifying our family.

Facts require provenance.
Old family wisdom finally useful in boring corporate language.
