Some years ago I visited a data center in West Virginia to try and understand how they were recording data in their mainframe and how we could improve the results. These were medical records put into a database. I was trying to use the "data dumps" from the mainframe to convert it to useful information for a corporation's medical plan/preferred provider network.
Virtually every employee was an unkempt overweight woman who did not appear to be "well educated"--trying to be nice about it.
The data I had to work with was so full of "garbage"/wrong information that it could not be improved, reinforcing the old axiom, "garbage in, garbage out."
