The Best and the Brightest¶
Halberstam, D. (1972). The Best and the Brightest. Random House.
Retired. This is not a bibliographic entry. Our extractor captured an inline prose definition from an article and stored it as a work. The concept is real; this registry record is a parsing defect. This entry is kept so the citations that pointed at it still resolve, and so the correction is visible rather than silent.
Cited by¶
1 citation across 1 artifact.
Each citation links to the sentence it supports in the citing article.
Mechanisms¶
- Spillover Response Load Test
- Its failure mode is that it can only size the reactions someone thought to list — a load test run on a thin surface gives precise answers to the wrong question — and quantifying tempts the McNamara fallacy,
This sourceDocuments the McNamara-era fixation on quantitative indicators as precise measures even when they failed to capture the situation being managed.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
