Not only were their predictions wrong, they were embarrassingly wrong, with some apparently more influenced by personal opinion than science.

More than 5,000 employees are working nearly around the clock on three crews to meet demand for the two SUVs, said Todd Dunn, president of UAW Local 862 in Louisville.
