Scene from Moneyball - What is the problem?
Adam Staab

A scene from Moneyball in which Brad Pitt's character argues with scouts who pick players on intangible impressions instead of performance data. It is a four-minute clip.
Invoked as shorthand for hiring and investing by gut feel and appearances instead of what actually predicts results.
