What if Hallmark made fancy sympathy cards that memorialized various types of academic failures? I am interrupting my extended review of “Thinking in Bets” (which will resume on Monday) to share the whimsical academic-failure sympathy cards pictured below. These were drawn by Tom Gauld, a Scottish artist and illustrator. My colleague and friend Richard Epstein, who infamously predicted only 500 coronavirus deaths in the USA, could use one of these!

Maybe the truth will end up “in between”?
