The power of data comes from its embedded information content that has the potential to reveal truth. Even a set of badly encoded data, could reveal information about its source in ways that are not always intuitive from shallow observations.

Data content may not be correct, but noise and lies included, reveal certain qualities and quantities of the realistic context of data collection. For more explainations on counter-factuals, see Judea Pearl's work on causation[1].
