   In theory, yes. However, I think in practice addressing the concerns of critics is often out of Pearl's hands. Until they supply a "ground truth" or data generating model, he has a dilemma: * if he doesn't create a data

   I don't know. The issue he is addressing in your quote is that people often leverage criticisms of his approach that are just verbal statements. Pearl wants people to use data-generating models to make their concerns explicit. The link

    I personally liked star ratings more, but can see why they'd make the switch. Average star rating is basically a 1 dimensional model, but now what they're doing is communicating a prediction: how much will so-and-so enjoy this sho

    PCA is a special case of factor analysis, so you are representing them as observations of a latent variable (which is often a narrative people use when explaining why two x variables are correlated)

    Not OP, but I would say that when statistics acts like a subfield of mathematics, then it is an art. However, if we consider judging whether a statistical method will be useful for the world as a part of statistics, then that part sometimes
