this is a good example about how all these people are just pieces of shit humans. you can't convince anyone that someone with a MD doesn't understand that insurance can only work from a ton of people _not_ filing claims. they know better, they're just bad faith actors.

I don't even know where to begin with this. I have legit been laughing out loud for five minutes. The 🤫 gesture. The fact that one of them is holding a mini-ball. The fact that they're wearing USMNT kits. The visible undershirts. I am dying.

I've updated this to now include 5 separate probabilistic models that represent some incremental modeling features/ technology over the decades (including citations!). I've also added in ELO ratings so that we can have a timeless perspective of superiority (or otherwise)
