I didn’t even know about Michael Lewis until I just looked him up. I could have used “underwater basket weaving”, but I wasn’t sure everyone would get the reference.
On a slightly more constructive note, the game theoretic analysis of signals has also been used to analyse and suggest improvements to the use of forensic evidence in law. Roger Koppl’s two articles “Epistemic Systems” and “Epistemics for Forensics” go into this in quite some detail, with the former laying out the mathematical framework and the later providing an experimental test of some of the hypotheses drawn from that framework.
I use this a little bit in my article on blinding and expert evidence, available here:
I’m curious, was the Art History comment a dig at Michael Lewis?

Could have hyperlinked it to the article.
