now, I'm not intending to be a wise guy....however many times when we've traveled to Europe and visited botanical gardens, low and behold what do we see "black swans" swimming in the pools....I never knew that they actually existed
Neither did I! But, that's the background for the term Black Swans. If you've never seen a Black Swan you may inappropriately conclude that they don't/can't exist. And in the case of the reality behind the metaphor, they actually DO exist! Who woulda thunk it?!
