Sausage-Making

A lot of processes in life are like sausage-making. You need a core protein, whether vegetable or animal; you need binder, filler, and a good casing. Whether it's a doctoral thesis, or a school policy, or a house, the ingredients and process are largely the same. The only difference is that many things are more structured than sausage-making when it comes to details.

But as they say, the devil is in the details—and the name is on the casing.
