I have a lot of evidence that this way of thinking is how the most effective people think about the world. Here I'll give two examples. Holden worked under Greg Jensen, the co-CEO of Bridgewater Associates, which is the largest hedge fund in the world.

BW also uses a lot of explicit models, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHe0bXAIuk0

Holden working under Greg is also generally weak evidence about how Greg thinks.
