One of the big reasons why data driven approaches are so seductive is, it's very difficult in the moment to distinguish between a good argument and a well crafted rationalization.
- gwd 4y agoThe issue is that it doesn't fundamentally solve the problem. It's true that a good argument logically supported by data is better than a good argument that hasn't been checked against data. But the existence of data in the argument doesn't help you determine whether it's a good argument logically supported by data, or a well-crafted rationalization speciously supported by data.
