Maybe I should have taken a more applied direction because I learned none of that at uni. My analysis so far is more along the lines of Alfred, Lord Tennyson;

"I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have 50ed and lost
than never to have 50ed at all".

Yes, well, this from a man who was bearded during the heyday of straight razor usage. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I admit that I did not learn risk analysis while attending university, but I did realize its importance during my 12 years working at one.
