My suggestion was to 1) not use any data or algorithms, or 2) use an objective algorithm to figure out if poor white males with criminal records but with a new child are likely to be repeat violent offenders. I did not suggest to use a single variable, nor did I suggest that it be used to determine guilt, explicitly dictate sentencing, etc. If there is going to be any algorithmic "fact" finding, it should involve plugging in all available data for a defendant and trending it against all available data. Not cherry picking.
