On: Math versus Dirty Data

[ridaj]

It's funny how Google is perceived in the public as an all-knowing organism, gobbling up petabytes of data public and private to fuel a superior intelligence... Actually it can't even get clean data about its own internal operation...

Do you believe the two scenarios are mutually exclusive?

I've definitely seen people be extremely disorganised in some aspects of life but also sufficiently, moderately, or fairly, successful in others.

I suspect companies are also capable of exhibiting similar behaviours.

Well if you collect data on a massive scale like that assuming it would be clean is actually the grossly unreasonable part.
