I know one of the data scientists at the NYT. She is top notch. Adulterating data is anathema in the data science community.

Is she the Ali Watkins of data science? I do not believe anything written in the NYT unless it is accidentally correct, usually on page 18.

No, I have interacted with Amanda Cox. She is well-respected in the R-statistics and Data Science communities. See her profile article.
