“My nephew Marty has a T-shirt that says on the front: “There are 10 types of people in the world…” If you read these words and are trying to think of what the ten types are, you’ve already typed yourself. The back of the shirt reads: “Those that understand binary, and those that don’t.”
Ian Ayres, Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by-Numbers Is the New Way to Be Smart

“what caused a law review article to be cited more or less. Fred and I collected citation information on all the articles published for fifteen years in the top three law reviews. Our central statistical formula had more than fifty variables. Like Epagogix, Fred and I found that seemingly incongruous things mattered a lot. Articles with shorter titles and fewer footnotes were cited significantly more, whereas articles that included an equation or an appendix were cited a lot less. Longer articles were cited more, but the regression formula predicted that citations per page peak for articles that were a whopping fifty-three pages long.”
