outcome, n.  a particular type of disappointment.  by the kind of
intelligence that sees in an exception a proof of the rule the wisdom
of an act is judged by the outcome, the result.  this is immortal
nonsense; the wisdom of an act is to be juded by the light that the
doer had when he performed it.
