There is no controversy in social science that shows such a large body of qualitatively diverse studies coming out so uniformly in the same direction as this one [the relative validity of statistical versus clinical prediction]. When you are pushing over 100 investigations, predicting everything from the outcome of football games to the diagnosis of liver disease and when you can hardly come up with a half dozen studies showing even a weak tendency in favor of the clinician, it is time to draw a practical conclusion.
