Heh, I guess this is a difference in perspectives. ML has some really shoddy datasets, like really bad, worse than you think I mean.
> The macro-averaged results show that the ratio of correct samples (“C”) ranges from 24% to 87%, with a large variance across the five audited datasets. Particularly severe problems were found in CCAligned and WikiMatrix, with 44 of the 65 languages that we audited for CCAligned containing under 50% correct sentences, and 19 of the 20 in WikiMatrix.
In total, 15 of the 205 language specific samples (7.3%) contained not a single correct sentence.

In the face of stuff like that, a 90+% correct dataset doesn't seem like a big deal.
