Man, you have got some bad info from somewhere.

You literally made me laugh out loud. Thanks! Not as good as Nate Bargatze, but still very funny.
The notion that hybrids were "my vision" is just silly. Companies in California and Chicago were doing them long before I even heard of it. The GSE hybrid test and learns started years before I joined.
The paper I wrote on hybrids a couple of decades ago was only an analysis of whether the process violated USPAP. I actually thought it was stupid of them to pay me to write that, since USPAP has clearly never required a physical inspection by the appraiser. It did not promote their use in any way. It simply said it didn't violate USPAP.
