An industry report by a private consulting firm that overwhelmingly supports the position of the industry funding the report is not fascinating to me. It's obligatory propaganda. The absence of it would be fascinating.

A private organization was paid by an industry to produce a report, and that report overwhelming supports the industry that paid for the report. How do weigh such data in your own decision-making? I give data from a public university, produced by individuals we could email right now if we wanted, individuals who presumably have reputations and career trajectories, a pretty hefty weight. Not above suspicion and not devoid of bias, but worth parsing. Is an industry report, by the industry for the industry, really worth parsing to you?
