By Jim Lavery| The Hill Verified When stories of mathematical models dominate the headlines, it is a sure sign that we are living in uncertain times. In 1976, British statistician, Dr. George Box, famously stated that “all models are wrong, but some are useful.” Today, in the throes of the most comprehensive pandemic since the Spanish Flu of 1917-18, Dr. Box’s observation seems particularly apt. The purpose of models is not to predict the future.
By Jim Lavery| The Hill Verified Science is a demanding enterprise. One of its core demands is humility. In the scientific sense, humility is not about geniality or deference. It is about submission to the discipline of the scientific method. It is about defending yourself from your own biases and assumptions that can obscure deeper, non-obvious truths that the scientific method is designed to reveal.
