Bryan, if he's wrong about the material you know a lot about, what
makes you think he has his facts straight on the subjects you know
less about?
Shouldn't his obvious errors on cost/benefit, risk analysis, and
corporate accountability reduce the prior probability (to you) that
he's right on anything?
Good question. Sure, errors in one area raise the probability of errors
in other areas. But he's a journalist. I expect him to be weak on
analytics. The 5 W's of who-what-when-where-why are what he's trained
to get right.
