Episode notes
Markets Punish Bad Decision Models Not Wrong Predictions
- Markets punish wrong decision models, not wrong predictions.
- Mark Moss explains CIA failures were from binary thinking, not lack of data, prompting a shift to competing hypotheses and probability updates.
Use Competing Hypotheses To Avoid Confidently Wrong Calls
- Replace binary questions with listing plausible explanations and assigning probabilities.
- The CIA's analysis of competing hypotheses forced analysts to update probabilities as new information arrived to avoid being confidently wrong.
Price Is A Record Not A Probability Signal
- Price is not the same as odds; price records past transactions, not future probabilities.
- Mark Moss stresses markets are allocation machines so positioning reveals odds more than current price does.
