data that isn't anonymized or de-identified at the source (privacy)

privacy (information privacy, data privacy, ...) and anonymity (anonymous, to be part of the crowd, to be able to blend in with the mass, opposite of publicity) are like being a virgin, once you have lost it, you can not get it back (???).

dialectics and the Socratic method
   dialectics 1. (thesis + anti-thesis -> synthesis)
              2. (synthesis <--> neo-thesis - new or next thesis)
              3. repeat step 1, 2, and then 3.               
     and the 
   Socratic method
              a series of question (inquiry) and answer session between the „student“ and „teacher“ with the teacher:student ratio of about 1:7, the number 7 is from the number of digits in the early development of the telephone number; if the class size is large,  then the student should be group into smaller size of about 4 to 7 per group, doing self-directed project or assignment, based on the teacher instruction and guideline; each group is going to be asked to present their result; in each group there should be a designated notetaker, there could be more than one, participation is mandatory as this is a process, you can gain only so much benefit from purely observational role; the teacher can roam around to monitor the progress of each group discussion; there can be multiple presenters for the group; like the US supreme court - the group opinion or conclusion, and a minority report or dissenting view ... 
              a series of back and forth between two people is called a dialogue - di or dy is two; dia- (prefix) means ...; -logue (suffix) means ...; ...
              purpose:  mastery of reading, writing, and communicating

 p.180
Ford, in particular, stressed that point, asserting that “the backgrounds and circumstances of the various presidents are so different that there can be no one formula for future support. Eisenhower or Ford or even Kennedy were so much more familiar with intelligence than a Clinton or a Reagan.” Ford went on to underscore that “the Intelligence Community has to be prepared to be flexible to accommodate the different experiences.”1
1 Ford interview, 8 September 1993. Subsequent observations by Ford also come from this interview.

 p.180
Carter had some of the most concrete advice on how the CIA ought to go about establishing its relationship with each president-elect. As a start, he urged the Agency to “give a new president-elect a paper on what previous presidents had done regarding intelligence support. Let the next incumbent decide—show them the gamut of material.”2
2 Carter interview, 23 June 1993. Subsequent observations by Carter also come from this interview.

p.181
He [Carter] explained that when a question arose about developments in a particular country he would “like to have access to something where I could punch in a request for the latest information.” [ a combination of, hybrid, synthesis of the followings: the news, historical account, google or bing for CIA facts book, crowd sourcing, experts crowd soucring, en.wikipedia.org ]

p.188
This compared favorably to the difficult situation where Johnson, as vice president, had been specifically denied the president's daily intelligence publication and had received no regular briefings.  He had been sent a copy of a less sensitive daily intelligence publication, to which he paid little attention. 

 p.189
they were also the most interested in oral briefing that related to those same issues [policy issues which they were grappling with].

 p.189
Written items or briefings were welcome if they were concise, focused, and accompanied by graphics or imagery that helped get the point across quickly. 

 p.189
The best received briefings were those delivered by experts who were obviously masters of their subject--in recent years, typically the NIOs. 

 p.191
sensitive activities. 

 p.191
   Familiarity with sensitive programs does not necessarily result in support for them.  Carter, for example, ordered a halt to some of the Agency's sensitive undertakings within weeks of taking office.

this is a link to the pdf file of a book, titled Lateral Thinking, 211 pages (consider reading the wikipedia entry on Lateral Thinking, first, before trying the book) (reading about Lateral Thinking is like reading about hypnosis (or reading about sex) - in other words, you need to practice and practical experience doing it - you can read about pooping and peeing, but until you have done it (experience), all the words in the world is not going to do it justice.)
