A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

To be fair, actual data-driven decisions require sufficient data. Depending on the field, collecting all relevant data may be quite expensive. And then it can be the right call to not do that, to only collect data where it's cheap and to accept the risk of a gut feeling being wrong for the rest.
Agreed, just because you have data, doesn't necessarily mean it's the whole picture or the data-suggested action is the most feasible
What Mister Manager here actually means here however is that he wants his subordinates to spend countless hours compiling and collating endless monthly reports for him which he will not read, or ignore even if he does read.
