@gelliottmorris Here's maybe the normie way to look at it: when you keep tweeting about how well some choice validates, and constantly emphasize the *statistical* tools you choose to avoid overfitting, not the analytical ones, that scares me and indicates that you're falling into a trap — PolitiTweet.org

@gelliottmorris I'm not trying to be harsh: these are tools that are intended to reduce the danger of overfitting, and you can really trick yourself into thinking that means you're not overfitting. https://t.co/qiZ6nYDvCW — PolitiTweet.org

@gelliottmorris Maybe it was too tough of a word choice. I'm not trying to be harsh here; he asked where the difference was, and I think I've outlined just a really core difference in how to think about uncertainty in model design https://t.co/vOuPGgAgsb — PolitiTweet.org

@Nate_Cohn @gelliottmorris Describing a data analysis you don’t agree with as deluded is kind of unprofessional, Nate.
