on bogus Lincoln quote.

I just want to second the accolades for anon that took the time to reach out and ask about it.

I also want to add that anytime an anonymous finds themselves in a similar situation if possible I recommend following this example. you might be surprised at how often someone will reply if for no other reason than to reciprocate for showing an interest in the matters that shape their daily life. They often appreciate someone taking g interest. I would advise though be clear and precise in asking for what you seek.

Think for example calling the census bureau and asking a statfag there if they can clarify some datum they worked on.

Their boss doesn't give a shit about the minutae; their spouse doesn't get aroused by it. it gives them 5 minutes to talk about their expertise / themselves.

This anon has gotten replies from chomsky at MIT Hausmann at Harvard Kennedy School and Hidalgo at MIT/Harvard (in addition to excel jockeys in statistics departments)
