Right. Except that this is also not true.

- coloredtopbar 9y agoThe word "reveals" is used because it is not expected by the average person. Otherwise it would be something like "confirms expectation".
- vog 9y agoNo, the word "reveals" is used because the code is revealed. Well, it's more a "log file" than "code", but that's detail. The point is that the "code" (log file) is usually hidden from average people. Also, the word "reveals" is used to make the headline more sensational, just like any other headline. It doesn't tell you anything about the average person.
- setr 9y agoHow does this show that data mining isn't an abuse of expectation? The reason this is even an article in the first place is presumably because it conflicts directly with expected use.
