RiskProf : More Simplistic Tort Reform Research examines recent writings by Bob Hunter about the medmal marketplace and tort reform, and rightly criticizes the lack of decent standards for statistical comparison and claims, saying: "The standards for analysis in this debate are too low. Every group has their favorite whipping boy and their statistics to back it up. However, just looking at point estimates and saying this estimate is bigger than another to make a conclusion ... is so 1930s. I don’t think these reports would even get an average grade as an undergraduate term paper. Shouldn't we expect more?"
