To a data fetishist (like those who set policy in parts of the HO) all data is good data, because more data is always better than less data.
And besides, just because it's wrong doesn't mean it won't be wrong in the future ("And then we get them" as the KGB would have observed)
Data fetishism. It's not a sane policy. It's a personality disorder
