What the heck is wrong with Silver? He seems to have an axe to grind with everyone. One day he trashes PPP, the next Sam Wang and who knows who will be next.
To be fair, in Sam Wang's case it was not Silver who started that "flame war". Wang had been trashing Silver long before the vice versa occured.
Silver's dislike of PPP is another matter though.
Not true, about Sam Wang. Wang disagreed with Silver's methodology (and others like it) and said so. That's very different from trashing him. In response, Silver put up a screed singling out Wang's approach as uniquely wrong among prognosticators.
