I have not seen this article written about here. I consider it to be a very important observation that the supreme court tends to tie itself into knots to avoid anything that has math in it. It makes total sense to me (as a math person), and we all know people who would rather use any ridiculous form of reasoning than to dive into any kind of complicated math.
Anyway, it is a very important article. Please read it at FiveThirtyEight. fivethirtyeight.com/…
