If you manage a hospital, you should actively monitor the most important day-to-day details, and look at accounting reports only as validation of what you did earlier. you should understand what drives your profits (i. e., understand your costs and revenues). you should plan ahead - for example, if the population ages, plan for more business, etc. what should you not do - you should not stay away from the hospital and just look at the accounting statements as they arrive in your email. in terms of the littlefield game, this means:
a) the score is like the accounting statements. if you are primarily watching the score (without understanding what is driving the score) then you are
b) sorry to be so blunt - a lousy manager. c) if you are just watching the score, you pretty much have no idea how well you are doing as the game progresses. d) you should not (primarily) look at the score. instead, you should look at other selected graphs.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley; i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten, all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however, many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn; whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today, its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
