But essentially without exception, they were people who I’ve also tweaked in public at FiveThirtyEight."<br /><br />("But essentially without exception..") is a nonsense phrase. "Essentially" means "most often;" "without exception" means "never."<br /><br />He''s trying to have it both ways: He wants to give the impression he never tweaked anyone in private he didn't tweak on his blog, so he says, "without exception." But to cover himself in the event it comes out he did tweak people only in private, he says, "essentially," which gives him wiggle room. So, he never did it; but if he did do it, it was almost never.
