confession

I'm usually pretty good at acknowledging someone's obvious superiority to me in a given field. But 1% of me still can't completely let go of the idea that I could've been Nate Silver, and the only reason I'm not is because he thought of the idea for that site first and works harder than I do.

This despite the fact that I only ever took one prob/stat class ever and it's by far my weakest area of math.

Also, there's a lot to be said for not having to work so hard.

Ha, nice.

Except it's worse for me because I didn't even have the idea first. I just could have had the idea.
