The author is conflating two very different issues: 1.) Imputing the imprecision of a mathematical model through stylized graphs. 2.) Choosing a firestorm of a political topic to demonstrate mathematical modeling.

Honest question as I can't claim to know anything about the actual mechanics of startup investing. Why don't the folks who put money into Clinkle just ask for it back, sell, pivot or kill the thing off? Based on what I've see

Perfect move on multiple levels. In the same way I thought look to John Carmack for any signs of trouble [0], I can look at Abrash being signed as a sign that everything is fine. On a related note, I always get a kick out of this Amazon rev

Expecting to define or predict customer experience as some sort of regression model seems to miss the point nearly as completely as possible. As I see it, it's as simple as taking the time to think as the customer.
