Thanks! My rule of thumb is to see if my underlying data lends itself to being shown in a scatterplot or histogram; they nicely show that e.g. an average is not "the one true value". But I know that this may not be possible with multidimensional, very large datasets.

Josh Clark on design principles for addressing flaws in machine learning. (via waxy.org)\
"The answer machines have an overconfidence problem. It’s not only a data-science problem that the algorithm returns bad conclusions. It’s a problem of presentation: the interface suggests that there’s one true answer, offering it up with a confidence that is unjustified.
So this is a design problem, too. The presentation fails to set
appropriate
expectations or context, and instead presents a bad answer with matter-of-fact assurance. As we learn to present machine-originated content, we face a very hard question: how might we add some productive humility to these interfaces to temper their overconfidence?
I have ideas."
