Don't role your own aggregate statistics when the thing you try to derive by mashing together things created for different purposes is measured or estimated by people.
I don't role my own encryption for public use either.

- AnimalMuppet 5y agoYou're going to criticize and be condescending, but not supply better data? That's quite unhelpful...
