WHAT IS IT ABOUT BRIDGE PLAYERS ?........ ( Short article by Carp )

The most disturbing , and possibly the most depressing ,  aspect about the run-of-the mill, bog standard bridge players is their amazing ability to miss the obvious. Indeed this phenomenon has been observed by those blessed with expertise  , who have witnessed the less able trying to play the game with utter disbelief.
Ed Morrow : The obscure lines of play they might see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, will take much longer. 
Etienne Klein : The bids which should be the most familiar to them are often the most mysterious 
Michael Lewis : Sadly , for the ordinary player , everything , in retrospect , is obvious
Arthur Koestler : The more original and successful line of play , the more obvious it seems afterwards
George Bernard Shaw : Will someone please explain to me why no bridge problem is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.
Kahlil Gibran : The obvious line of play is one which is never seen until an expert opponent expresses it simply
George Orwell : The first duty of any bridge player is the restatement and implementation of the obvious
Arthur Conan Doyle : It's an ironic fact that for many there is nothing more obscure or deceptive than the obvious
