Wyoming Liberty Group recently wrote Can We Rely on NAEP Rankings Part 1 Wyoming's rankings versus other states in National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) scores.

What do we do when we encounter a luxurious buffet but are on a diet? We carefully take only the permitted amount of each allowed item, right? And then we consciously take a smidgen more of each.
