I’m sure many would trace it to my upbringing, while others would cite my temperament but I’m someone who likes data. I like it even more when we are able to make sound decisions with supporting data.
This is not to say that throwing some emotion in the mix isn’t important, but I do like to see the numbers to understand the real instead of assumed impact. I feel much better when I have data to support my argument as it will speak to a broader audience.
So when Wacky Hermit of Organic Baby Farm decided to do the number crunching for me, I was thrilled that I could finally have some data behind what my gut already knew: the CPSIA as stated would not have made the difference many are touting it would.
I therefore highly recommend you read her post: CPSIA by the numbers (a first in the series, I might add) so that you might form or support your own feelings about this new law.
I am excited to see what other insights she is able to share as this former math professor (very cool, btw) crunches the numbers and shares her analysis.
