dc.description	People like to distill complicated phenomenon into easily digestible numbers. Whether it’s a top ten list of the best movies of all time, the shooting percentage of our basketball team’s star, or a student’s score on an exam, we like to quantify phenomenon that is unquantifiable. We like the comfort of a number which we can use as the basis for our decisions. This is an imperfect process, as underlying human behavior can, ultimately, not be boiled down to a single number. But we try anyway.
