Fix #313: Add forecasting paradigm to forecast evaluation session#487
Conversation
Add the forecasting paradigm (maximise sharpness subject to calibration) to the forecast evaluation session callout for completeness. Also clarify that sharpness is a property of forecasts themselves vs other metrics resulting from forecast-data comparison. The paradigm was already present in the slides, but adding it to the session content ensures students have easy access to this key concept.

Nice. Excited to see how the formatting comes out with all the asterisks but assuming it'll be correct.
