    I’ll say this for her stuff: for a person so willing to argue that mainstream positions on her field are wrong or disregarding data out of conservatism she sure tends to latch on information she agrees with in areas where she’s not an expert and disregard other information.

    I’d argue in this specific one her dismissal of “we could argue about how these guys are measuring innovation, but all the papers seem to find the same thing” seems like exactly that, but hey.
