    I don’t think data and studies should ever be buried. I do think we need to do a better job of exposing this data as nothing more than scattered tea leaves, with no validity to it. Just because someone spent lots of money collecting numbers, doesn’t mean those numbers reflect anything real. And yes billions of dollars and hours of time can be spent collecting ‘data’, but the cost doesn’t mean it’s reflective of any truth.
