Silver is 100% correct. But it doesn't change the fact that his stats-based approach to journalism is now schtick, and no longer groundbreaking.
He would be fantastic if he focused all of his efforts on election forecasting and baseball (the two subjects where Silver is leagues better than his peers). I get my sabermetrics fix from
www.beyondtheboxscore.com now. It may not be long before I go elsewhere to get my political forecasting fix.
I personally don't give a damn where they say the country's best burrito is.
