Kermit Tyler: 当时我驻扎在夏威夷，负责在Fort Shafter信息中心轮班，学习新的雷达系统。那天早上，我听到广播里播放着没有中断的夏威夷音乐，这通常是引导轰炸机飞往夏威夷的信号。雷达站报告说他们探测到了一个巨大的光点，我误以为是从加利福尼亚飞来的美国轰炸机群，并让他们不要担心。结果，那实际上是日本的飞机，他们来轰炸珍珠港了。我的误判导致了这场悲剧的发生，我对此深感遗憾。
Aaron Manke: 珍珠港事件是一场悲剧，它提醒我们，在任何情况下，妄下定论都是极其危险的。Kermit Tyler的例子表明，即使是受过训练的专业人员也可能因为先入为主的观念而犯下严重的错误。我们应该从历史中吸取教训，保持开放的心态，避免因为假设而导致无法挽回的后果。
Deep Dive
The attack on Pearl Harbor was a result of assumptions made by the US military. The warm weather in Hawaii, the Hawaiian music playing on the radio, and a large radar blip were all misinterpreted as signs of an upcoming American bomber squadron, rather than an impending Japanese attack. This highlights the danger of making assumptions, especially in critical situations.
