I'm a coder, I solve little problems all day. My work would be enormously harder if I didn't use my gut to test results. I doubt I could make a living doing that. I frequently get bad results from doing statistics on large data sets, and only discover it when my gut asks me why it looks funny. Like this one. We don't need a happy medium between Mr. Gut and Mr. Data, we need to merge them. For another data check: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_and_fertility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_and_fertility In my own experience lower income has been associated with harder work. If a stat says that modern knowledge work is more demanding than subsistence farming, I have to question it.
