Ah, there’s the rub—interpretation. All data is subject to human interpretation, and humans, as we all know, are imperfect. As Jared Spool once said, “Any piece of data can be whipped to confess to anything” [3]. In the end, data is used either to support or repel one’s argument. Indeed, design is an intensely deliberative human activity, grounded in debate— even manipulation—toward some reconciling of viewpoints into an outcome. Maybe it’s consensus, or a compromise, or simply a mandate. Either way, how data is leveraged is a valid concern for everyone.
