So basically the headline is "guy with an algorithm that is usually right has a gut feeling about a similar topic". It gets the clicks but it don't mean much.
It may not mean much to you. Lichtman (aka as algorithm toting douche with a gut feeling) teaches at one of the most politically active colleges in the country, American University in D.C. And, his book about his gut feeling is being published. That doesn't mean he is right, and it may not mean much to you. But, it is just possible that a man with a PhD in history who has been researching and writing about American politics for decades has a slightly more informed opinion than the person cheering Gracie like "take downs" of my posts on this MB. But is also possible Asimov was wrong and ignorance is just as good as intelligence.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
