I'm going to hijack this post to ask for help locating a blogpost I read via an HN link a few (4ish) years ago. It was written by an academic studying infrastructure in the developing world. The subject was construction of a public transport network in a large city (Lahore? Lagos?), and his difficulties in obtaining reliable data from public sources on basic features like scale, budget, and schedule. What made the post interesting was how he drily cited multiple official sources to show that none were in agreement. Something like "The new trunk line will stretch 74 km." [link 1] "It cover 89 km end to end." [link 2] "All told, the line will add 107 km of new track." [link 3] etc. etc. So basically it functioned both as an account of his research and a tacit commentary on the problems that arise from dealing with unreliable official sources. If that rings a bell for anyone, I'd be very grateful for a link!
