Years after his most consequential denials, Isaac Bell reviews the data meant to justify his decisions. The numbers confirm what history already suspects: he was rarely wrong in his assessments.

What is Good Enough?

What is good? How should we measure good? What about confession? When and how is it appropriate to judge another? How can we avoid being a stumbling block to others?
