Bad Data
"What
happens when we get flooded with false alarms
and bad data?
We ignore
all data."- Unknown
We are
all drowning in data. I do not believe the quality of most data I consume. I
have seen through the ignorance of those that report it.
But the
quote provides an interesting twist on the bad data idea. The quote teaches us
that it is ignored. You don't believe it?it
For a
moment ask yourself when was the last time you ran towards a car whose
alarm wad going off? Never. Why? Because
you know that most often cat alarms are false and it would be a waste of your
time to bother.
Do you
know that thieves also know this? So if
they want to to steal a cat they are Beyer off in seeing of a bunch of alarms
at once. Most of us would dance this to
be a false alarm and not even bother while they steal what they want.
The
lesson is that we still have to pay attention to false data otherwise we could be ripped off. But just because we pay attention to it does
not mean that we accept it and act on it.
Today's
question is:
"Do
you ignore false alarms?"
