Daniel McIntosh, we have a problem differentiating anecdotal from evidence. Unfortunately, they get mushed and unnecessary fears and silly decisions result.

When I lived in NYC, we had many dinner parties with bright and entertaining guests. It was astonishing how many tried building arguments from storytelling instead of facts. Both work together beautifully, and we need each, but we have to know which is which to make sense.

A few guests were strong in math.

Excellent. Many thanks.
