Reversion to mean. Pre-78.

  I like this answer because of its circular logic (therefore impenetrable). Simply declare a prior good state to be "the mean," then all we need to do is let mean reversion work its magic!

    I like this answer because you pretend you're arguing against the comment without actually addressing anything.

          I was just trying to be consistent with the comment chain. I wouldn't want to stick out.

              No, neither, so I guess I do unusually stick out in this comment thread...so much for that.
