So a group with Innovation in its name says that decreasing innovation is the "core economic problem America faces today." Hmmm. Color me skeptical.

So the organization with the word "Environment" in its name (used to) claims that climate change is the planet's biggest problem (EPA).

I mean, really, having a certain word in your name precludes you from having an unbiased position on it?

See my comment about sibling. Similarly, EPA is a government org, tasked with specific roles. Kinda like how DOJ has specific opinions about whether criminals should be incarcerated.

> having a certain word in your name precludes you from having an unbiased position on it?

Of course not. But I'll bet EIG doesn't have an unbiased opinion on innovation :-) In the same sense that NRA can publish a study about crime in states with open carry.

That's not really fair. The data should speak for itself, and I for one found the argument cogent. Did you find any errors or bias?

Otherwise you might as well say the CDC saying something about Disease is invalid.

The CDC is a government entity, and "disease" is well-defined.

"Innovation" is a bit more nebulous, and the EIG appears to be quasi-non-profit, but is a private company.

Also, parent comment said "skeptical", not "invalid".
