Now the question is if she does understands the math or not? I am often stunned how innumerate people are but in her position you should be able to expect a solid background in statistics.

I think Casey (though seriously overrated as a policy “go to” ), isn’t uninformed. However, the social science academics who i suspect advise her will be driven much more by right-on reputation washing than statistical rigour Casey is chosen because though a thoroughly Blairist and house trained policy bureaucrat, she usually tries to feign having a mind of her own. In this issue as Noah knows to his great professional and personal cost you are just not allowed to reject the dogma of institutional racism as an explanation for any and all disparities.
