Alexander Micek commenting on When Information Overwhelms Facts

Thank you for your comments, everyone. I appreciate your thoughtful reading of the piece and your critiques.

I noticed a few responses to my “two data points” conclusion. My concern is this: if SquareTrade did indeed have more than two data points, why did they fail to incorporate that data into a model more nuanced than a linear projection?

It is troubling that we, as evaluators of the study, are not supplied with rigorously supported facts.
