with attached data. Cool to look through, though I surely can’t vouch for either the concept or the execution. It does seem odd to say “UK [at 41st] doing better than most of our similar neighbours and competitors (France 62nd, Italy 50th, Spain 46th, Japan 90th, Chine 82nd, India 125th),” though “other counties did do better (Germany 35th, USA 23rd, Ireland 11th),” when (1) the raw scores for the UK, Spain, and Germany were 236.67, 233.33, and 240, and (2) the underlying phenomenon is so subjective and hard to measure that it’s hard to imagine a 2% variation being remotely significant.
Thanks to Victor Steinbok for the pointer.
