   Bump... I like that when Gary King reverses course and says matching increases model dependence everyone jumps on board, but this kid gets criticized heavily. smh.... this guy is right, matching is dumb.

   MM was right. The PolMethers were wrong.

   How does it feel to be on the wrong side of history?

   Where did King claim that matching increases model dependence?

   Hint: King never claimed that, you are just making things up.

    I know they were having an intense debate about this year's conference theme. Which won? Star Wars or Star Trek?

    Is there a special Aspergers division or do they just mainstream it because there are so many?

    I don't know. In the "activities" you can join, most are not suited for people with Aspergers. Mostly "hiking" and a bunch of bs that I am not going to do with 100 F.

    Bump.

    This was perhaps the most infamous and mocked presentation in PolMeth history: Michael Miller's "The Case Against Matching," presented at the 2013 PolMeth meeting.

    See the earlier pages on this thread to understand how poorly this paper was received, both at the in-person conference as well as online (including in Justin Esarey's blog).

    It's now 10 years later. Michael Miller's paper is...still unpublished.

    Not really a fair epilogue. Maybe the PolMeth paper was a bust, but Michael Miller still got tenure at GWU. It's not like his entire career has been a failure.

    Yeah, the dude was criticizing a faddish method and got an angry, mocking response. Big surprise. Can't conclude from that he must have been wrong. A lot of people have soured on matching since then.

    Most mocked paper was "kyadic" by far. How that dude got a good gig is beyond me.

Post <blockquote>OP has a point. The polmeth crowd is basically just talking to each other. The rest of the field keeps doing the same old things. The polmeth crowd likes to make fun of the rest of the field for this, but the truth is that the lack of forward progress is partly the fault of the polmeth crowd for setting themselves apart like this.</blockquote>
