Adding the "good" to turn it into "good raw data" is even better.
Considering the last few years of manipulations with the data about "the plague", sure, there will be arguing, but again, more data is a good thing.
Some will say that global warming is a scam because of that, some may say it's just a random increase with a long-term trend of decrease due to global warming... and I just like having the data.
So I'd cautioned you against the belief that you really have any data here. You have a single number, flagged for your attention by somebody who (presumably) believes that they can influence your conclusion in a particular direction. You can't really draw conclusions from data without gathering as much data as possible, and this single number is nowhere near complete. If this data strengthens your confidence that you understand the whole situation, then it is worse than having no data at all.
