If you were 50 and been in business for very long, you would know that. Trial and error is useless offline. It will send you bankrupt.
EVERY business is trail and error....

Trial and error is useless offline? So trying to market new ideas is useless? Seeing if a new product might work, is useless? Trying something new like groupon to see if it drives in more customers, is useless? So if it doesn't work fully the first time, and you adjust, and get it to work the second time, did they not just do trial and error to make it work?

If you have no trial and error, how do you learn, adapt, and change with or beat out your competition? Exactly...

I'm starting to think you've never owned a business, but rather ALWAYS worked for someone else while pretending you ran a business.
