Dead Cat Bounce / Regression To The Mean

[RedYoshi]

Having seen so many posts recently talking about the inevitable "dead cat bounce" that we would see if we were to replace O'Driscoll, I couldn't help but be reminded of all the analysis that suggests such a thing does not really exist.

That's just one of the most recent articles about it, but I'm pretty sure there's plenty more if anyone cares to search.

 

I've had many discussions about how it always seems that far too much importance is placed on managers etc., and would go into causal fallacies and the rest if I didn't fear that people would get bored.

 

Anyway, take it or leave it, just thought I'd throw it into the mixer and then you can make up your own minds.
