Speaking of Sequencing Information “Wherever there is judgment, there is noise—and that includes reading fingerprints.” “We have more information about this case, but let’s not tell the experts everything we know before they make their judgment, so as not to bias them. In fact, let’s tell them only what they absolutely need to know.” “The second opinion is not independent if the person giving it knows what the first opinion was. And the third one, even less so: there can be a bias cascade.” “To fight noise, they first have to admit that it exists.”
