I only think that it's an issue when someone is working harder than their tolerance. I agree that management should take a role in the general welfare of their team, but in this case it seems like the poster is mostly concerned about someone making them look bad.

Well your relative performance is worse, so either tolerate that or work harder. Nobody's work-life balance is someone else's decision to make.

I think that you would agree that null is not a correct prediction, so clearly the Silver model has failed for those votes.

Worth noting that pundit Carl Diggler has not had any trouble predicting results even without a fancy statistical model

Just as Nature intended, I will birth my child into this kiddie pool and the first thing that it sees will be Beyoncé

I can't help but agree with this article's argument which seems to be 'there are some smallpox samples'.
