For Good Measure: Remember the Recall

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock’s statement is most often quoted to imply that uncommon scenarios can all be explained away by reason and logic. This is missing the point. The quote’s power is in the elimination of the impossible before engaging in such reasoning. The present authors seek to expose a similar misapplication of methodology as it exists throughout information security and offer a framework by which to elevate the common Watson.
