Hot takes on data analysis

Some short, hot takes on data analysis.

Current Takes
Measuring experiment success is a hard problem.
Failed experiments are the value of experimentation.
Make decisions with scalar parameters.
Complex models need an explanation of exactly what data they use to answer a question. Black boxes are bad.
Numerical optimization is a hard problem not an afterthought.
The weaker the theory, the more robust the results. The stronger the theory, the more meaningful the results.
