『Magic Ink』で引用されていた部分

In the spring and summer of 1957… I tried to keep track of what one moderately technical person myself actually did during the hours he regarded as devoted to work… About 85 per cent of my “thinking” time was
spent getting into a position to think, to make a decision, to learn something I needed to know. Much more time went into finding or obtaining information than into digesting it. Hours went into the plotting of graphs, and other hours into instructing an assistant how to plot. When the graphs were finished, the relations were obvious at once, but the plotting had to be done in order to make them so… Throughout the period I examined, in short, my “thinking”
time was devoted mainly to activities that were essentially clerical or mechanical: searching, calculating, plotting, transforming, determining the logical or dynamic consequences of a set of assumptions or hypotheses,
preparing the way for a decision or an insight.*
