If you don’t consider probability or statistics as a value in motion, you’re likely to interpret the meaning incorrectly

How does seeing probability as dynamic impact data interpretation?

That’s a good question, we’re using the numbers to ideally improve an outcome, if we formulate the action based on incorrect interpretation of data then the options eliminate right for the right reasons from the logical set and the potential positive outcomes from the interpretation become less likely to be true 

Since this logic is itself not a binary choice but also a distribution then to apply it correctly here would have to say something like, getting things right for the wrong reason can be acceptable but ideally we would trend towards understanding that, learning how to handle probabilities in motion intuitively, is a ways off for the average of humanity

That's a solid point. If we misinterpret the data, don’t we risk narrowing down possible outcomes? Given how probabilities work, do you think getting the right result for the wrong reason is sometimes okay, or should we aim for deeper understanding?
