    Interesting article about

    "a wildly popular UW [University of Washington] course taught by Bergstrom and West, 'Calling Bullshit: Data Reasoning in a Digital World,' and a book with a similar name."

    FYI, Bergstrom has a Mastodon account here: https://fediscience.org/@ct_bergstrom

    Probably apocryphal, but a winner of a science Nobel prize was asked how they got the right answer, and they replied:

    You don't get a Nobel prize for getting the right answer, you get it for asking the right question.
