    How does bad data indicate a trend worth observing?

    To your earlier post re Russia...agreed. History has shown that back channels are important; think Kennedy. Nothing will surprise me. IMO, it is an exciting time to be alive.

    Because there is a mountain of shit with the Brexit negotiations that you should not look at too closely

    Even a very inaccurate test can give accurate information about population trends, if you do enough tests.

    If the error rate is 10% and your test positivity rate increases from 10 to 20%, something is occuring.

    Depends on why/how the data is bad, and the type of error you are talking about. If the problem is false positives, then if the error rate is assumed to stay the same you can interpret increases or decreases as changes in prevalence, even if you don't know what the actual numbers are. If you are using the same tests, you can probably assume the accuracy rate will not change much. "Bad data" does not necessarily mean we know nothing.

    Right. Especially if you already know what you want the trend to be.

    The media do this to us. Here's a wonderful example from today's news about the SCOTUS nomination: No, Amy Coney Barrett Doesn't Belong to a Catholic Group That Inspired 'The Handmaid's Tale'
