“The premise of the MINI episodes is Kyle explaining a concept to his wife. From the content perspective, the choice of topics is interesting, but I find the way Kyle gets into them to lack focus (e.g. what will our pet bird do?) and he can often fall into misinterpretation traps (e.g. confidence intervals).
