Towards Sustainable Insights or why polygamy is bad for you
Summary: Shows automated visualization/exploration tools inflate false discoveries by surfacing spurious correlations (sauna–Stonebraker anecdote) and analyzes the implicit multiple-testing risks in current systems. Proposes QUDE to model and control exploration risk factors to bound false discoveries. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
