Aotearoa / New Zealand

Oh you put the 0! Oh it could have gone either way. I presumed it was me because it seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to do 😆

I figured home D was kind of a parole measure, but that’s a good point, he may not have been inside the prison system beforehand - this could just be an awkward systematic failing, with tragic results…

I've talked a little bit about a book I've been reading that shows that any professional judgement (judge deciding to allow someone an exemption, insurance quoter giving a big company a custom quote, deciding to grant someone asylum or not, etc) will inevitability have a huge range in decision outcomes based on the person making the decision (unless there's a mandatory framework to base it on). It's just really hard to make these judgment calls, and when they tested bail decisions (yes/no) judges were only right about 55% of the time (barely better than chance).
