Unreliable Data. It has been my experience, as well as many others who have looked; data is generally much less accurate than it is advertised to be. This is not a trivial point - we depend on initial data for many decisions, as well as for the input data for simulations which result in decisions. Since the errors are of so many kinds and I have no coherent theory to explain them all, I have therefore to resort to isolated examples and generalities from them.
