Eddie Arthur has a new post up discussing the complexity of answering a “finishing” question. He points out that it’s a lot easier to answer the question of “when will the end begin” than it is to answer “when will the end, end.” And then, at the end, he suggests one possible answer. (But you’ll have to read his post to see it.)
Monitoring progress and the task remaining–one of the jobs of missionary researchers–has to do with looking at when something has begun, the pace at which it is proceeding, and then asking whether we will finish any time soon. If you want to know a little more about the complexity of monitoring, Eddie’s post will give you a few thoughts on it. But what I really hope it does is challenge some people to get started!
