So I like that example. So instead of being a chef of a restaurant, let's imagine that you're the owner of 12 different restaurants and you have a head chef in each. And that head chef is going to be what I think of as the most senior of my more junior colleagues on the project.

And over time, I've come to trust that they're going to be doing a really good job of overseeing the ingredients that go into the research process. And by doing so, there's other things that I can do. I can work on, you know, making sure that we have the funds available. I could, you know, work on whatever particular problems come up administratively.

I could work with more young scholars because my time is more available. So there's lots of good by the sufficiency of trusting scholars. the assistant professor on the project or the head chef at a particular restaurant so that I'm not examining the specific ways in which the sausage is made.

We collectively heard that Dan Ariely was presenting a very similar result based on a field experiment having to do with an insurance company. And Francesca reached out to Dan and we basically combined efforts to pull the three studies into one paper.

I'm reading the insurance field experiment for the first time at this point. And as I'm reading it... I have some questions. I wasn't remotely thinking about fraud as an issue. I just thought there was something wrong. And what I saw as wrong was that we were reporting that the average driver in the database had driven between 24 and 27,000 miles per year.

So I asked some questions about it. And Ariely, who was the point person for that data, the origins of which are not completely clear, sent back a very quick email saying the mileage is correct. And I continued to say, well, we need to clarify what's going on here. It seems off that people have driven so many miles, particularly when you're talking about tens of thousands of drivers.
