How to Ask The Questions that Nobody Else had Thought of Asking
Differentiating between strategy and tactics is key to coming up with unique questions. A strategy is a plan for achieving an objective, while tactics are the actions and tools used to implement that strategy. When we focus only on tactics, we may miss other possibilities. By zooming out and considering the broader strategy, we can ask more innovative questions. To do this, we should frame the problem more broadly and think about what we are trying to accomplish. For example, in the case of sending rovers to Mars, sending two instead of one decreases risk and increases reward. There are many potential problems and risks involved in sending rovers to Mars, such as rough landing areas, equipment malfunctions, and dust storms that can affect energy supply. Considering these factors is crucial for successful mission planning.
