        I'd be down for this course, but I'm guessing invocation of Milton Friedman would be called "bullshit" because reasons

        it's a course about statistical literacy and evaluating evidence, so yeah, some of his stuff wouldn't fly. Some would.

        his thermometer, for example, is an excellent resource when examining macroeconomic data. PIH, not so much.

        experience tells me any course limited to "statistical literacy" eventually tries to use math against philosophy

        it's bad to see the people making fun of this who aren't even pretending to have looked at the site, read the syllabus etc.
