Overall Mr. Sinclair’s point seems to be that the quality of the stations does not matter. I find that incredible, and best illustrated with an example. The government makes decisions about the economy and interest rates and taxes and hundreds of other programs based on detailed economic data. Let’s say that instead of sampling all over Arizona, they just sampled in one location, say Paradise Valley zip code 85253. Paradise Valley happens to be (I think) the wealthiest zip code in the state. So, if by sampling only in Paradise Valley, the government decides that everyone is fine and no one needs any government aid, would Mr. Sinclair be happy? Would this be “good enough?” Or would we demand an investment in a better data gathering network that was not biased towards certain demographics to make better public policy decisions involving hundreds of billions of dollars?
