语言争论不能替代现实判断
塔勒布拿“黑天鹅究竟算不算天鹅”开玩笑。概念边界在哲学讨论中有用，实干者仍要处理眼前那只鸟带来的后果。
Talk is cheap. Someone who took too many philosophy classes in college (or perhaps not enough) might object that the sighting of a Black Swan does not invalidate the theory that all swans are white since such a black bird is not technically a swan.
原笔记：“文字和语言的辨析在哲学思辨中有意义，但对于实干家来说只是饭后消遣。”

书里的词语旁枝还留下了 失意诗人 poète maudit、Vox clamantis in deserto 和 语言争论不能替代现实判断。塔勒布自己的经历则在 黎巴嫩的和平没有预警就消失了。
