Connecting The Dots. I have to admit "connect the dots" is getting a little wearisome for me. Primarily because it got overused in political speak. But the concept has value because it forces you out of the box whenever you are too lazy with your thought processes. The "dots" could and probably should take you anywhere. Politicians use the phrase smugly to suggest that the dots logically go in only one direction - whatever comports with their biased linear thinking.
