\"When he wrote Picking Winners in 1975, Andrew Beyer told the world exactly how he generated his numbers\"

 He told everyone in the world except the guy who wrote this article.

I talked to Jagow at some length, he\'s no dummy and asked a lot of good questions. He\'s used figures and understands the basics of making them, and is writing for a general audience. It\'s about time someone did this, considering how much of the industry now relies on figures to make decisions.

OK, now I have reasonably high hopes that the article about you will be mostly accurate.

But the article about Beyer screws up one of the two most important things: use of par times.
