“The only time the output of a statistical model is anything but a hypothesis is when the output of the model can be verified by real or experimental data. A lot of the analysis and modeling done by politically oriented individuals like the authors of the cited article is intended to support their viewpoint, and is not designed to be tested with real data.”
Apparently this method of verification is not a requirement in stanford law school.
Perhaps stanford has decreed that its law school is a “scientific method free” zone. One wonders if that is the only way that liberalism can flourish on campus.
Maybe John Donohue has relegated scientific verification of his hypothesis to the stanford marching band! lol
