Abstract
New applications of the formula $A |\psi\rangle = \langle A \rangle |\psi\rangle + \Delta A |\psi_{\perp} \rangle$ are discussed. Simple derivations of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and of related inequalities are presented. In addition, the formula is used in an instructive paradox which clarifies a fundamental notion in quantum mechanics.
