>>It's transparency, it all helps
Sorta pedantic and not picking on that comment so much as the CA Prop 65/label GMOs/Citizens United world that we live in: transparency might not be a real solution or means of achieving some goal. Increasing transparency and generating more data when there is already a very low signal to noise ratio and an even lower impetus to act on actual signal feels like a waste of time and energy. For example, we don't need any more data about NSA privacy invasions or CIA torture or effective criminal wrongdoing on the part of the financial industry; we know there is willing, flagrant illegal activity, yet modern society (not just American society, mind you) is unwilling or incapable of doing anything about it.
So what will more data get us? Seems like a waste of time if the desired outcome is change.
