Gwern Branwen - Footnote 22
The claim states that the discriminant analysis correctly predicted 130/159 agent classifications, but the source does not provide these specific numbers. The claim states that fraud is the worst criticism because it changes all decisions, but the source says that there is no decision whatsoever which is made better by using faked data. The claim states that Gwern admits his own critiques aren't always fully correct, but the source says that he could not honestly say that he has always been right or that he did not occasionally ‘gild the lily’ a little.
