Still trying to find the best way to teach skepticism in data. When I say check the data, people find the issues, but without that statement there is a “Simon says” reaction. I have many examples of hiding messages (e.g. create a PCA plot it shows “nope” in the plot) but not everyone finds these.

But WAIT there's more. Who randomly sampled Helly/Helena's dialogue and estimated the fundamental frequency through a short-term cepstral transform, ran KNN, and predicted who an audio clip from episode 9 came from? you guessed it! And once again, Helena ⭐️
