  • I'm not super sure about the figure here. It does a good job showing overfitting, but in general analysts are taught to be super cautious when extrapolating models outside of the range of the training data, so I wouldn't continue drawing the linear regression outside that range either.

  • I'm not sure the last sentence belongs here:

Futhermore, be cognizant of the danger of skewed or biased data artificially inflating
accuracy

I think you're right; it belongs in the "know your data" tip. It does inflate accuracy, but it's not due to memorization.
