      Fine print was great—but as I railed against: the presentation was misleading, constant updates clickbait, the decimal point faux scientism.https://twitter.com/natesilver538/status/797187322295029760 …

      All of this was *somewhat* foreseeable, though. Hence, Trump having a ~30% chance. Here's what we said in our final write-up. pic.twitter.com/uikQWlpXCV

      And 538 was among the best of the lot. Some of its visualizations were super, but presentation to non-stat audience matters. @NateSilver538

      A general purpose website cannot say that. "Errors are correlated" could have been communicated, say, with a dial.https://twitter.com/mattdukeleduc/status/797191496701251585 …

      with respect, it seems disingenuous to fault 538 for their readers' failure to understand probabilities

      Communicated on Twitter and in the fine print. Better than most. But not changing presentation=~not communicating.https://twitter.com/_hectortorres/status/797196205986107392 …

      To be fair, they devoted good amount of time before the election to communicate that exact error. Can only educate to certain point.

      Agree, to a point. But which is better alternative, leaving this an esoteric field? Or turning it into an academic discussion?...

      And don't get me wrong, I love discussing models and techniques. But would most people tune out? And if so, are they less informed?

      Better presentation was possible but likely less audience. It's not an easy issue but let's not pretend "fine print is fine".

          1 more question: had correlated systemic polling error been seen as more likely towards the end, could it have changed the outcome?
