#Trump has no cohesive #Ideology like the #Dictators of the pastThat is a convincing argument, but it's one that has hindsight as its aid. Suppose the historian had to decide what the cohesive ideology was as they were evaluating the aggregated news of the time as they first saw it instead of evaluating it many years after it happened.
Military officers had gathered and studied bullet holes in the aircraft that returned from missions. One early thought was that the planes should have more armor where they had been hit the mostβ fuselage, fuel system, the rest of the planeβ but not on the engines, which had the smallest number of bullet holes per square foot.The commonality is using incomplete evidence and hindsight to determine truth/reality. Masha added more evidence.
Abraham Wald, a leading mathematician, disagreed. Working with the SRG (Statistics Research Group) in Manhattan, he asked an odd question: Where were the missing bullet holesβ the ones that would be all over the engine if bullets were equally distributed?
They were on the missing planes, the ones that had been shot down. So the vulnerable place wasnβt where all the bullet holes were on the returning planes. It was where the bullet holes were on the planes that didnβt return.
Restricting your measurements to a final sample, excluding part of the sample that didnβt survive, creates what statisticians call βsurvivor bias.β It can cause you to come to conclusions that are entirely wrong.
