I had never seen these, but they seem to relate directly to environmental modelling problems, such as climate, oceanography, met, etc. -HLG
1. Good data is the data you already have.
2. Bad data drives out good.
3. The data you have for the present crisis was collected to related to the prvious one.
4. The respectability of existing data grows with elapsed time and distance from the data source to the investigator.
5. Data can be moved from one office to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed!
6. If you have the right data you have the wrong problem to solve and vice versa.
7. The important thing is not what you do but how you measure it!
8. In complex systems there is no relationship between information gathered and the decision made.
9. Acquisition form knowledge is an exception.
10. Knowledge flows at half the rate at which academic courses proliferate!
Don't know who Horwood was exactly, but these are pretty cool laws to be remebered by!- HLG
