Which is a hell of a problem for any conclusions or elaborations based upon their results. The reason it;s online now, in the first place, is that they hope...with a large enough data set, they can eliminate the known vectors of error, and possibly eliminate as yet undiscovered vectors of error - but the very act of formatting it for the internets introduces yet another vector. Creating an objection to methodology on top of previously existing fundamental objections. Further muddying what is already brackish water.
