No, but we really do need a good article contrasting the differences. @instrumenthull.bsky.social and @borusyak.bsky.social 's nice AEA P&P has a very clean simple example discussing weighting differences in design vs. model based regression: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gfvv9...

Hot take: I intensely dislike the phrase 'jump on a call' that seems so common in office-speak. I don't jump on calls. I drag myself to calls. I don't know who started this jump on call thing but I dislike you as much as I dislike Microsoft (and that's a lot).

In any sport there are moments when, in defeat, a player or a team wins something less tangible but much larger than the match. That run was absolutely legendary, and the game itself was played at a level no one predicted from a team not many knew before. Respect.
