I think it’s worth noting that I also have had times where I was impressed with your tact. The two examples that jump to mind are 1) a tweet where you gently questioned Nate Silver’s position that expressing probabilities as frequencies instead of percentages was net harmful, and 2) your “shut it all down” letter to NYT, especially the part where you talk about being positively surprised by the sanity of people outside the industry and the text about Nina losing a tooth. Both of those struck me as emotionally perceptive.
