All the other (non-Ivy) research is also pretty much 50/50 on the matter.

No, its not. Not all research is created equal. The strong research has a very clear interviews are worthless conclusion. The studies that show validity are either very weak studies or flawed.

No, its what I wrote first in the 7th post in this topic.

There is good and bad research supporting both positions.
We disagree then.

Yes, and I then agreed that "fairs will still happen in the future because recruiters believe the in-person experience gives them a better sense of the candidate". So: "That's what I said. We agree. Hurray!"
You're the one who then brought up the research.

No there isnt. The strong research has a very clear interviews are worthless conclusion. The studies that show validity are either very weak studies or flawed.

Prior to that I disagreed, that fairs will continue as long as leaders and recruiters want them because they enjoy the fair and the dynamics they benefit from, not because they get better data about fit.

We disagree.

You're of course welcome to believe that. I don't.

@Heliotrope

its not a belief structure it data, but youre welcome to believe the data doesnt matter. Lots of antivaxers believe that vaccines are some government plot.
Something that @Heliotrope doesnt believes ~meh~

[Heliotrope]

I just believe the data says something else.
Although I suspect on vaccines we do agree.

Data doesnt have an opinion. The interpretation of @Heliotrope isnt a property of the data.

I'm saying the data doesn't support your opinion.
You say it does.
We disagree.
