A Quote by Bertrand Russell

Live theatre is great. I loved doing the League live because you get that element of spontaneity, but then when I'm doing live I start to crave the precision of filming. It's a different discipline; it's like a scalpel and you're very precise suddenly. It's scary as well because you think this is it, this is my one go at making it if I can the best it can be, because this is how it's going to be remembered and rendered and left on this film indelibly. And people are going to look back on this and that's that.

And that is also true of the emergent entities known as "you" and "me".
A writer's job is not complete without attention to precision. What you're trying to be precise about is your relationship to the observed thing.

So you're trying to be precise about what it is you're seeing because it's very unlikely that you're going to be able to depict it as it is.
