I suppose MathBabe provides a service by constantly reminding us that human motivation is impure and leads to all source of bias that taints the numbers and the models used to evaluate them, but it does get tiresome to read a blog supposedly about math which is, in fact, largely written to support her political agenda. (Even if you agree with her agenda.) She recently attacked Nate Silver for "defending corruption" because he didn't use his book to attack evil, greedy Wall Street, and now Bill Gates for being naive, because he didn't use his annual report to state the obvious, about which little can be done, but instead chose to promote measurement, where progress can be made. Perhaps she should change her moniker to PoliticalScienceBabe?
