I like it. We might want to take some extra efforts to make sure the odometer is accurate, but there's pretty strong incentives to fool with odometers already. Apparently the average person pays 150-400 in gas taxes per year now. I gue

Author here. I very much appreciate your polite tone! I'm aware that taxes on items for resale aren't treated like in the toy model. (This is mentioned in the article already.) Can you please take a look at this article and let me

I feel like a lot of people don’t recognize how incredibly hard it is to check bias from data. The problem is that you have to define “subgroups” in a way that’s inherently arbitrary. This turns out to intersect with Simpson’s paradox in a
