Thank you Inti for the link to that paper and the similarity you propose between science and politics. It seems jazzy, according to Satchmo. Someone once said to me that he said: "Jazz is not what you do, but how you do it."

More hearing, less telling you say, as we chat the other day about more questions told. A "how" for a political campaign based on questions could be a worthy experiment. A question, if made with candor, is a nice way to say "I wanna listen." But a question is also a bet on possible answers. There is randomness, improv. Risk.

It also happens in science. Let's get prepared to receive false positives and negatives. Let kosher answers stay and evolve.

Let the party morph from green answers to green questions. A party of listeners. A green radar.

caracha! this is a longer and more-dense-than-it-meets-the-eye article. Chantal just informed that Giorgia Lupi is well known in the field (Chantal my wife works in the central bureau for statistics of the netherlands, and currently she is working in data visualization too). And I am half way reading it, going back and forth... for now let it suffice to say THANKS! this is a cool article!

Besides, I am waiting the moment to answer your first comment in full, with another article. Somebody from my workgroup has been convincing us that we need to organize jamming sessions, instead of meetings. The idea I really like. I think Jackie Cushman has wrote something about it, do you know it?
