We love historical data. From it we develop frequency distributions, probabilities and severity curves. With this data we develop projections and calculations of risk. However the really important historical data is not reliable. Conditions change. The economy and our competitors react. The dynamics change. Our historical data does not reflect this until it laughs at us in our hubris.
