Letter: Degrees of certainty

Published 5 February 2014

From Nicholas Taylor

Surely Philip Colfox does science a disservice in his letter in defence of economics by saying “nothing is certain” even in science (18 January, p 29). What counts is how certain. Science is in a better position than economics to isolate evidence and perform repeatable experiments.
