Thank you!
I've read one of Judea pearl's latest books (called I think "the question of why") and while I found it extraordinarily convincing to make the case that the "data first" approach to inference is fundamentally flawed, I also couldn't extract anything quantitative from his graphs. Maybe my fault, it's on my to-reread list. Thanks for the link.
