everyone who has complained about data issues has made no effort to present anything alternative.
You're clearly an intelligent person, so I'm having a hard time understanding why you're stuck on this point. It's been made abundantly clear to you why they do not offer an alternative set of data, but let me try one more time for you: because it can't be accurately done, therefore results would be inaccurate, therefore not relevant
this is an investing thread. the smart money doesn't make investment decisions by throwing up their hands, saying "this sucks and can't be done."
It is, indeed, the investing thread and I'd contend that the *smart money* understands that endlessly massaging of numbers that can never reveal the truth is at the very best a big waste of time.
so you're entitled to your opinion about all the flaws and defects in the data, and you're also entitled to be parted from your precious capital by not attempting to come to any investible answer.
Yes, thank you for your concern for my precious capital and assuming I (or others, who currently disagree with your opinion) can't come to our own investible answer based on data that actually is not flawed or defective.
if you can't be objective, should you really be investing?
Who is that question posed to you? Nigel? Anyone who doesn't agree with your opinion? Or, yourself?
