Episode 04 - Being Right Fantasy Football, in Theory

Welcome to Fantasy Football, in Theory, a brand new fantasy football podcast dedicated to high-level fantasy strategy in the abstract.
 
What do you do when one of your cornerstone beliefs is suddenly called into question? In the quest to be right, what does it mean to be wrong?
In our quest to answer that question, we'll discuss stupid bar bets, obtuse statistical biases, overconfident basketball researchers, the history of the philosophy of science, (not to be confused with the history of science or the philosophy of science), and go over a long list of stupid things that I have believed.
Here is a link to Believing We're Right isn't Being Right, the essay that inspired the episode: https://dynastytheory.blogspot.com/2015/07/believing-were-right-is-not-being-right.html
And, as promised, here's a list of things I've written about being wrong:
