  • It's funny because I thought about this an hour ago and the way I would put it is "mainstream economics manipulates statistics to fit a preconceived worldview and theory." Which a lot of "statistics" related study is guilty of these days. But yeah, I think that's my problem with calling Nate Silver a statistician. He's a statistician who works backwards from a narrative.
