Where The Money Is

Sutton's law states that when diagnosing, one should first consider the obvious. It suggests that one should first conduct those tests which could confirm (or rule out) the most likely diagnosis. It is taught in medical schools to suggest to medical students that they might best order tests in that sequence which is most likely to result in a quick diagnosis, hence treatment, while minimizing unnecessary costs... The law is named after the bank robber Willie Sutton, who reputedly replied to a reporter's inquiry as to why he robbed banks by saying "because that's where the money is." In Sutton's 1976 book Where the Money Was, Sutton denies having said this,[1] but added that "If anybody had asked me, I'd have probably said it. That's what almost anybody would say ... it couldn't be more obvious." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutton%27s_law

L. Ron Hubbard supposedly said that the only way to make a million dollars is to start a Religion (leading to Scientology).
