Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths And Total Nonsense
“There's a fun book called Calling Bullshit, which despite the name, which is a little extreme, I think, for a title, it actually has a lot of amazing insights that I love. And it sort of embodies, in my opinion, a lot of the Twyman's law showing that things that are too extreme, your bullshit meter should go up and say, "Hey, I don't believe that." So that's my number one recommendation. There's a slightly older book that I love called Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths And Total Nonsense by the Stanford professors from the Graduate School of Business. Very interesting to see many of the things that we grew up with as well understood turn out to have no justification. So a stranger book, which I love, sort of on the verge of psychology, it's called Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me), about all the fallacies that we fall into, and the humbling results from that.”

We need that okay button because you want to be able to debug the reasons, and sometimes the metrics help you understand why you have a sample ratio mismatch. So we blanked out the scorecard, we had this button, and then we started to see that people pressed the button and still presented the results of experiments with sample ratio mismatch.
