If directors remind themselves each time they enter the boardroom why they are there, and pause for a moment to consider how their views would be affected if they did not know who they were, they would make better decisions for the company and for the entire system in which it operates. In this sense – and only this sense – ignorance in the boardroom is the right approach.
如果董事能在每次步入董事会办公室的时候提醒一下自己为何要在这里，并且停下来考虑一下，如果他们不知道自己身在董事会观点会受到何种影响，他们就能为公司以及公司经营所在的整个体系做出更好的决定。从这个角度讲——也仅从这个角度讲——对身处董事会保持无知是正确的做法。
