To "massage data" sounds a bit like what some scientists do whenever they don't get the results they expect. Kinda funny concept anyway...

- njharman 16y agoYou've attributed one connotation (probably the one most known to public due to media reporting of scientist malfeasance) to the phrase "massage data". Which actually has the more general meaning of to manipulate, to process data. Perhaps to get the data into different format, or to extract just the rows/columns/bits that are of interest.
- mrleinad 16y agoA drawback of English not being my native language, most probably. :) Thanks for your clarification.
