The author collecting the data is a pretty clear conflict of interest that I guess I’ve never given much thought. Considering how difficult/expensive/time consuming it is to interview people it’s kind of odd the publications don’t require some sort of certification from whichever organization collected and/or funded the collection of the data.
- Nasrudith 7y agoI suspect it hasn't been hiven much thought because of how logistically difficult it would be communications wise and the value of context. Take even a simple yet still complex example as say Microsoft declares that coding and software design should be kept absolutely separate on a personal level. You can make a design or write of anything but not both. That would be a major pain for no concrete gain - like trying to produce bottled water from hydrogen and oxygen burning on the grounds it is "purer" that way - ignoring that apparatus also introduces comparable parts per billion contaminants as a reverse osmosis filter. As for interviews what would another layer of gatekeeping even add that calling one or both parties to verify that the transcript wasn't from a satirical news site add?
