Their actual implementation is rather hand wavy, but I think getting people pointed in the right direction is a lot more important than the particulars. The high visibility of FiveThirtyEight makes me think this is a big win for sanity. I'm curious as to what others think. Which parts were done well? What might have been done differently?
