Last week I was being interviewed by a journalist about Business Analytics amongst other things. I found myself speaking about the perils faced in extrapolation that are significantly less scary when merely interpolating.

I’m sure this drawing must have appeared on some other BI blogs, but what the hell, it merits posting again in my opinion.
