I guess you’re right (I read this before and interpreted “active foreast” as “forecast made very recently”).
If they also used this way of scoring things for the results in Superforecasting, this seems like an important caveat for forecasting advice that is derived from the book: For example the efficacy of updating your beliefs might mostly be explained by this. I previously thought that the results meant that a person who forecasts a question daily will make better forecasts on sundays than a person who only forecasts on sundays.
