I think likening that to a superposition of quantum states doesn't work. In the quantum case, make a measurement and you will end up either with one or the other. What you are describing is worse: it starts out and will remain inconsistent. Let's call it the Whitman approach to causal inference!

The entire "editor writes headline" tradition is a stupid remnant of print journalism where it was necessary for physical layout purposes. It never has made much sense for online journalism, let alone online op-eds.

Exactly! Which makes the real climate shift way scarier. Like shown by the data from svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5452/

I feel that there should be many examples in stats / methodology. For instance, google scholar gives 2500 citations for Gosset / Student's 1908 paper where he introduced the T distribution. Arguably ridiculously low given the impact of the paper!

This unexpectedly blew up when I was sleeping. Just a few precisions to (hopefully) be a bit clearer: 👇

Close to 100% of what I was taught, not close to 100% of the field as a whole 😃. The 100 figure is indeed a bit exaggerated (although right now I would say it is already way above 50%, and still growing), but there is most certainly a bias in the courses I had during my Bachelor's
