basically you say that pretty much all rationality skills (Logic, knogledge of biases and heuristics, etc...) are needed or beneficial to know how not to make mistakes while handling the data—right?
Yep. I think the best lessons I’ve learned revolve around actually *trying* to second guess myself. I’d crunch some numbers, feeling confident that I did everything right, only to realize that my assumptions or logic or something *other* than the mechanics of number crunching was off or wrong.
Yup, thanks :)
