historically, the correlation between the unemployment rate and a president’s electoral performance has been essentially zero.
The utility of quant methods? -- "zero"?

This is a nice find. Do quants really believe their methods could provide better insight than this?

Dear lord, apex: you posted this link, then days later you post a comment praising yourself for finding it?
And for all that, still no one will come play in your sandbox?
You're breaking my heart.

Apex was actually posting something by someone else, but was bounced out.

I remember when he used to post under different handles (World Government, Eight Ball, etc.). Then he forgot to log out and posted as if he were Handle A under the guise of Handle B. Then when it was pointed out to him, he came back under Handle B by saying "oh, that was a joke, I was pretending to be Handle A."

Qual v. Quant analysis:
"David L. Hudson Jr., a scholar at the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University, said the [statistical] studies [as Supreme Court rulings] lacked nuance by, for instance, treating every decision as equally important. His criticism illuminated a gap between the two disciplines used to assess the Supreme Court: political science codes and counts, while law weighs and analyzes."
Interesting, so law [i.e., qual methods] "weighs and analyzes", while political science [i.e., quant methods] "codes and counts". Which is better? I certainly would not want to be labeled as someone that only codes and counts -- a monkey can code and count, but only an intellectual weighs and analyzes.
