@paulag I think your reply to @deanliu is a bit harsh, considering she is just reminding you that data needs to be interpreted in context. And it is not about freedom of speech. It's about being careful about all the data that you gather and whether there are factors you have not considered before making conclusions that put others on the line. I think by now there have been a lot of voices pointing out that for example @justyy using the said transfers to help minnows, or evidence that @htliao has ignored rather than sell vote to steemians who tried to buy him. However, these argument and evidence would have been drowned out by the preposition that this article has presented - people already think everyone who was mentioned in the article is guilty. I am not here to say it has or has not happened, but as a person in real life who suffers a lot from data being interpreted out of context, I just want to say be careful, because data speaks the truth, but when you don't have all the data, ie the rest of the context, seemingly correct conclusions can be wrong.
