Introduction
Research produces many outputs. The more important question is how those outputs should be interpreted.
Markets are noisy, and models are often tempted to over-interpret that noise.
The Core Idea
Conviction should not be derived from abundance of computation alone. It should be earned through quality of evidence, coherence of assumptions, and consistency under challenge.
The discipline lies in deciding what not to trust too quickly.
Closing Note
Evidence is not the same as conviction, and conviction is not the same as certainty.
