Suppose the request is referred to the manager of the board of this denomination, and it transpires that there are many good reasons why a new hospital is not badly needed at this point, and by a little good management the need of this missionary can be met by another hospital in its neighbourhood; whereas another missionary in another place has no such possibility for any hospital facilities whatever. There is no question that the money should be spent in the place last named. These conditions the managers of all the mission stations know, although perhaps the one who is giving the money never heard of them, and in my judgment he is wise in not acting until he has consulted these men of larger information.

白话
把请求转给教派的管理者后，可能发现当地并不急需新医院，稍加管理就能用邻近医院满足需求；而另一个地方的传教士却毫无医疗资源。这时钱显然该花在后者身上。这些情况各传教站的管理者都清楚，捐款人却可能从未听说。所以，在咨询这些信息更全面的人之前不急着掏钱，才是明智的做法。
上下文
承接上条，洛克菲勒继续用医院例子说明信息不对称下如何做捐赠决策。
今日一问
你是否曾因不了解全局，把善款投到了并不最需要的地方？
