The information posted in these threads is useful, helpful, accurate (as much as it can be, considering it’s all preliminary), and has plenty of value. If some people can’t look at simple raw data without descending into panic, then those people should choose not to look at the data.
The only way to help people make informed decisions is to help ensure they remain informed. The answer is never less information; it’s always more. These threads provide useful information. If people can’t put that information into context, that’s their problem.
If you enjoy it, more power to you. I just wandered in by accident looking to see if he had posted anything about how the mayor of Nashville hid data and used the lack of information to raise taxes. I then noticed a comment about Spain that was so far removed from reality as to be laughable, which is what happens when all you do is look at numbers. On a normal day I would have looked at the title and moved on without bothering to open it. Now that’s what I intend to do in the future.
