In case it wasn't apparent to you, there were a number of fairly obvious (let's call them "junior") errors of reasoning embedded in the original posting. As in, the kinds of things we would have readily lost points for in that undergraduate-level "quantitative reasoning" course we crammed through on the way to fulfilling our social science degree.

Wholly independent, mind you, of all the fancy-schmancy talk about generalized linear models and whatnot. Which, while being quite nice-sounding, serve only to distract from the more basic (and glaring) errors of inference in the surrounding text.

Which, in turn, is why the label "dataviz" is a more than appropriate description of the otherwise quite fun and entertaining HTML5 demo provided by the Enigma team.

"Data science", however, it is not.

On Fridays I like to find a quiet bar, and read papers on distributed systems. Guess I won't be a "culture fit".

Being as 90% of them can't tell the wheat from the chaff to save their skins, they have no other choice, really.

I know you may think this is a positive attribute -- but it actually comes off as a turn off to anyone who doesn't happen to that particular extracurricular interest -- or who who happens to have some semblance of a life outside the office (like kids, say).
