What the data fetishists carry on doing without telling anyone is another matter.
.. which is why ANY government function requires oversight, transparency (even delayed for operational reasons is better that none) and the most important but ever so glibly discarded feature called accountability. I'd place the latter right at the top to stop the eternal scapegoating.
Not that that will ever happen, of course, but show me one person who still trusts their government and I'll show you that that person hasn't been taking their meds..
