Many pundits say "we controlled for district & candidate characteristics, and find that moderates do better." This is like controlling for blood pressure & BMI, and then finding that "people who go to the hospital are more likely to die." This is biased analysis. Shoutout to causal inference.

with ai you can now speedrun this because claude will code up a bug then repeatedly tell you you’re crazy for saying “there’s a bug”
