<summary>Why do this fancy stuff?</summary>

A small evaluation bias is noteworthy. We need to say how confident we are in our
measurement. The paper explains why naively computing standard errors is not great for
the confidence part. (It usually is great and sufficient.)

The paper also motivates the estimation of task-level effects. When picking lemons or
cherries from a big tree, the magnitude of effects are overestimated due to selection
bias. Priors shift them towards 0 to improve estimation.

All in all, I want to expose and communicate the considerable variance involved in this
research, and reduce estimation bias.
