I signed the pledge because truth is extremely important in the post-truth world of today. We listen to single anecdotes not large-scale evidence (and indeed business school case studies and books encourage storytelling); we accept evidence only if it agrees with our pre-conceived viewpoint; and we rarely scrutinise the rigour of evidence - what matters is whether we agree with it, rather than whether it is robust.
