Yeah, this one is good to point out. I was a bit shocked to notice how people are sometimes criticized (ridiculed?) for bringing in data, or evidence. What tends to happen is that the concept of data is deemed corrupt based on degrees of inaccuracy or bias. As though there were such thing as perfection through perception.
