“Value added data...” - you can’t make this stuff up.

I must have slept through the class describing that type of data. Oh...wait...it’s coming back to me...I think it was also called “fudged”.

I have to provide analytical reports for a business and I have to be ready at a moment’s notice to defend their findings using the original source data and a detailed description of the methodologies used to come to those conclusions. This data HAS to be made available to others. I don’t think that this is an unusual practice in the business world.

I was under he impression that the scientific community had an even higher standard of rigor.

I was introduced to the Egyptian Variable in Seventh Grade ~ that's the number you use to multiply your own answer so that you get the right answer.

And these guys are telling us they no longer know or understand their Egyptian Variables?
