When I say logistic regression is underused, I don't mean underused among data scientists. We have an incredible shortfall of "data scientists". What I mean is there is data sitting on computers somewhere, which is a logistic regression away from giving someone some information that they could use to make better decisions. But there's no one at Debbie's Diner who is capable of doing the regression, so it goes undone.

And the computer scientist who eats Debbie's waffles every Saturday spends his weekends reading about SpaceX instead of pulling her data into R and giving her some insights that would give her a much safer retirement.
