To add to it, data-gathering by NSA can indeed lead to the wrong conclusions. Or statistics in scientific experiments that are wrong, due to selecting only a part of the data-set.
- ballenf 10y agoThere's a fair bit of discussion of crime scene data gathering beyond video: CSI-type stuff. Makes the point that when you have a big budget to gather a bunch of data, you have a lot more leeway to paint a narrative supporting your theory. Would have liked to have been given a more concrete example of this, because I don't have a strong enough imagination to really understand that scenario. Finding the suspects fingerprints in more places around the crime scene? I don't know, I guess that could help convict but could see it just as easily distracting the jury and muddling the case.
