Nobody started a war over the beliefs expressed in Dons polls, or is trying to justify one after the fact

Davin L. — 7/1/2003 3:14:18 PM (archived)

And for the record- (and you may quote me:)I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANYONE USING POLL DATA TO SUPPORT ANY CONCLUSIONS THAT ARE OTHER THAN 'THIS POLL WITH THESE QUESTIONS IN THIS POPULATION SAYS BLAH ABOUT THAT POPULATION'.

So, in general, sure- that extends to Dons polls. Take that to the bank and cash it- I'll stand by that until I get a lobotomy and/or unlearn every shred of Causal Decision Theory, Statistics and Probablility I have ever learned.
