You just repackaged the “but my feelings” movement, when your quote with its context says the exact same thing as others above said, that it’s probably the news. When a customer calls you, that their mouse doesn’t work, and you figure out that they cut its cord, and you apply this quote, it doesn’t mean that the problem is that they cannot cut the cord, but that they want a wireless mouse. You applied this as they would want to have a cord which can be cut with scissors.


You guys are really missing the point (responding to all the critics below, not just you). If you all had actually listened to the entire interview linked above instead of posting a hot take you would understand that it's not about "feelings". Rather it's evidence that the data is likely measuring something wrong or irrelevant, or not being gathered correctly. Thus a deeper factual and qualitative analysis is required.


Yes, I reflected exactly to that with everything. And that analysis was done many times before, and the results were that the problem was news… that’s why your response is about feelings, because the interview is exactly about what you tried to contradict.
