Thank you, 2025, for all the models that were perfect on training data and then failed spectacularly. Overfitting keeps us humble. Also, thank you for making β€œit depends” the correct answer more often than not. In 2026, may we at least know WHAT it depends on. πŸ₯³ #datascience

This is related to a private conversation I had recently.

IMO, if you want to use Bayesian statistics in your professional work, either (a) work through at least one Bayesian textbook yourself or (b) collaborate with someone who has already done that work themselves.

Take your data seriously.
