Whether you believe the adage of the same name of today's post or not, there is truth to it. Not everything is black and white. If you look harder and dig deeper, you will often find that things (just like people) are much more complex and enigmatic. Trying to use the K.I.S.S. mantra or even Occam's razor (a.k.a. the principle of parsimony), is not often the key to getting to the root of things because choosing the simplest answer might not always predicate choosing the correct one.So . . . What does the devil is in the details really mean? No doubt, from a young age your parents and teachers taught you to pay close attention to detail when completing your school assignments. Maybe before every exam they reminded you to read all of the instructions thoroughly, or they drilled it into your brain to always double-check your work. That’s essentially the lesson of this idiom and proverb: Details are important, so be conscientious and pay attention to the small things. TBC ... Unless the details deviate!
