The author starts off with a Bill Cosby example, front and center, then continues to develop a stat model while acknowledging an inability to account for incidentals, while never mentioning that Bill Cosby is more than likely to have a significant number of incidentals.... Like, tonnes of money and hangin' out at playboy mansions where shady-ness pervades. Back in the day, pre-blogging, when journalism was actually a profession, journalists were taught to avoid this kind of set up. Now it's everywhere and I can't help but be unimpressed.
