Two Questions: 1. Do you trust other people's A/B tests? 2. How do you use past A/B tests on your own projects? - Jakub

@jlinowski I don't know if you could trust them outright, but this looks like a great starting point. Especially when trying to convince a boss/client to simply *try* some A/B testing. Often the biggest hurdle I find when A/B testing is getting the buy-in I need to try it in the first place.

@clarklab @davidiwanow Agreed that the data is still thin. I wonder what would be the reaction if for each idea there were 10, 20, 30? tests? It's a live project of course and we'll be adding more tests for sure.

@clarklab @jlinowski How can anyone argue against A/B testing? There's no losing to be had--you'll always be optimizing. Are people actually saying they don't want that?

@mbmusgrove @jlinowski budget, timelines, staff/skills, arrogance, etc. I see it so, so often. It's insane.
