[teampractices] Yeah, I'm a critic and a skeptic

[David Strine]

like...literally

I listen to tons of skeptic podcasts and try to read deeply in skeptic
sites.

If someone claims they have conducted analysis or research and have drawn
conclusions worth acting on, I'm going to be skeptical and critical.

Being data driven is great but it comes with the burden of being accurate
and objective. You need to be able to state how much you don't know or how
wrong you might be.

Also, to be a good neighbor and partner to the rest of the org, we should
be careful when we use data. It's hard to win back trust after we publish
faulty results.

Also these tools aren't hard to use. When used properly, they could
actually save us a lot of time.
