George Box famously said:
“All models are wrong, but some are useful.” (Box, 1979)
Drawing upon this idea, I have developed a page to explore the idea of how quantitative methods can allow one to be less wrong about important social issues: https://globalfamilies.quarto.pub/be-less-wrong/.
The page uses ideas of scrollytelling to explain these ideas. closeread is a new extension for Quarto that allows one to present stories using scrollytelling.
