I agree that data can't do everything, but I disagree with the boundaries for usefulness that Brooks defines.<br /><br />"Bitter" isn't really the right word for how I feel (although on second reading, I can see how you'd think that.)

On bad days, it's just frustrating.Abehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11770641345237492773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301218875078503995.post-56723151562654408062013-02-21T06:13:18.493-08:002013-02-21T06:13:18.493-08:00It sounds like you and Brooks actually agree.
