    JesperBylund I do think the minority aspect is a feature of A/B-testing that should be called out. A/B-testing can (sometimes) be effective in boosting profits, but can be at the expense of select people being sidestepped - which the test will rarely show. So - yes - skewed, with real impact.

      JesperBylund And of course I'm also critical of the dogma. :)

        JesperBylund If you test blue and pink cupcakes against each other you may find more blue cupcakes eaten at the time, place and by the people you test them with. But if you don't talk to people you won't find out about allergies. And why a number of people still preferred the pink ones.
