Theory needs data. Data hates theory. It is a love story for the ages.

I like to think that data doesn't hate theory, it just has highly particular tastes. Like this lil octopus guy in a plastic cup, who spends a while rejecting shells before finding one it's happy to abandon its cup for. https://youtu.be/DTJbdy097m0

Imagining the data as a cute octopus helps with the rage when nothing goes right ๐Ÿ™ƒ
