As Paul Meehl (one of the founding fathers of the importance of quant models versus human judgements) wrote: There is no controversy in social science which shows such a large body of qualitatively diverse studies
coming out so uniformly in the
same direction as this one... predicting
everything from the outcomes of football games
to the diagnosis of liver disease and when you can hardly
come up with a half a dozen studies showing even a weak tendencyin favour of the clinician, it is time
to draw a practical
conclusion.
