Crossposted from mailing list. Meeting in courtyard, gathering from 3:00pm, hard start 3:30pm - until closing
We'll be meeting to talk about both the concept, and examples of, Chesterton's Fence. The caption of a picture on the Wikipedia article does a better job of explaining it than the original quote from G.K. Chesterton, so I'll use the caption to explain:
"Just because there doesn't seem to be a reason for this fence to be here doesn't mean there isn't one."
