[Secret Agent Man]

a good reason to never give absolute trust over anything of your to any “expert”. lok’at all the stuff docs used to tell people and require god-like obedience to their superior intellect. hell i still have the ads of doctors pushing smoking. doctors saying the appendix or tailbones have no useful purpose.

I hope the same degree of healthy skepticism will be applied to analyses of our election defeat. The experts who pontificate that we lost because we moved to far right, or we moved to far left, or we failed to debate Benghazi, or we failed to fight back with TV ads defending Romney's character in time, etc. may or may not be true.

What is true, is we ought to get as much empirical data as possible before we settle on the "facts."
