#1 🍒-picking.

In the Spirit Level, some countries are excluded from the analysis without justification. When including these countries and using the latest estimates available, the core findings of the book disappear. [2/5] pic.twitter.com/9yeTYcV1jn

So why is the Spirit Level still widely and uncritically cited (see below)? I’m not sure… A political bias, maybe. Anyway, it makes me feel that science is def not self-correcting here.

More to come soon.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
