, Why did we have you read the article about the basketball player?
-All the other answers are correct
-Because it shows the value of applying a "scientific" approach to something.
-Because it's more interesting than a textbook?
-Because it shows the importance to finding the best way of doing something, and then making
sure you do it that way "every time."
In the article about the basketball player, Shane Battier was held up as "doing everything right"
but in the end, Kobe Bryant still made the shot. What is this intended to teach us?
Operations teaches us to find the best way to do something, and then do it that way every time.
This doesn't guarantee success every time, but it results in higher likelihood of success.

Note: in a sense it's irrelevant as to what restaurant it was. Who cares if it was Carfe Rio or Red

So why do we include a question like this one? Because we care whether you actually read the
article - it's a great article! We consider questions like this one to be "fair game" for an exam
because we are simply checking whether you actually read the article. The same thing applies
to the videos. They are assigned for a purpose, so you're expected to watch them!
