In an ideal world, experimentation through randomization of the treatment assignment allows the identification and consistent estimation of causal effects. It should be noted that inverse probability weighting is not generally optimal (i.e., This is often referred to as the positivity assumption. the curse of dimensionality).

We data scientists now have access to tools that allow us to run a large numbers of experiments, and then to slice experimental populations by any combination of dimensions collected. Make experimentation cheap and understand the cost of bad decisions. This leads to the proliferation of post hoc hypotheses. What is to be done?
