Re: Judge Fail?
My understanding there was that Uber correctly said that X = Y, but someone came up and said that actually X' was a more informative statistic and X' = 0.7 Y. In this case, X would be the median income, and X' being the median standardised into a 40 hour week, whatever that means.
I think it's a step too far if people and organisations can't publish whatever statistics they want to ( and have the rights for ). If Uber want to publish stats on the mean temperature in South Sudan, that should be their perogative. It would be our role as the audience for that advert to determine for ourselves that the heat in South Sudan isn't relevant to driving an uber in the US.
