Oh wow - I didn't see that coming!

I've posted before about surveys which seem to be set up to do nothing but prove the obvious, but equally amazing is how decisions can be taken without regard for the equally obvious consequences. The finding that the decision a few years back to withdraw anonymity from sperm donors has resulted in a significant decrease in such donors is being greeted with surprise - but really folks, what did you expect? Makes you wonder about the intelligence of some of our decision-makers, doesn't it?
