Interesting article! Ok, I will warn you I'm getting on my soap box now... In all my education as a statistician, I learned a VERY important concept that I wish our government would understand: There is variability in everything. And the more you try to supress that variability, the more variability to actually introduce. To give an analogy, when I worked at Intel, I would help my engineers learn that just because one widget came off the assembly line a little bit larger that the rest, don't freak out and tweak the dial to try to reduce the size of all future widgets. Tweaking the dial is just going to create probably make more small widgets, so then the temptation is to tweak the dial again. All that messing around with the dial takes a stable, sound process with natural variability and disrupts it. Our economy has variability in it, just like everything else. The more we (they) mess with it, the more volitile it will become.
Whew! Done with that ranting...
