OK. That’s interesting. I disagree but I can see why you’d think that, and in a way I’m kind of sympathetic: I think overfitting definitely happens with some of the poli. sci. models. My go-to model is my go-to exactly because its author really seems to appreciate the overfitting issue, and is very insistent on aiming for proper explanation, not just prediction.
