I don't see how that's circular reasoning. The writers who worked on bad episodes presumably had something to do with making them bad.

- w-m 8y agoPotentially it was bad writers, yes. But this data does not prove this; it just shows that some writers tenure correspond with worse episodes. But so does for example the year, or potentially many other influencing factors.
- monochromatic 8y agoIf we’re going down that rabbit hole, it doesn’t even prove there is such a thing as a bad episode. It could just be that people who don’t like the simpsons became more likely to use IMDB as time went on.
