-Diane Sawyer This quote highlights the contrasting durations and depths involved in different investigative processes. Sometimes, a swift interview can provide immediate insights and a snapshot of a situation, valuable for quick decision-making or preliminary understanding. Conversely, thorough investigations demand extensive time, effort, and resources to uncover the truth comprehensively. Both approaches are essential, depending on the context and urgency, emphasizing the strategic balance between depth and speed in information gathering.
