That's a bit weak though. Right now what the world needs more than anything is precise, clear, accurate information. It's really hard to do that, I got called on making a vaguely worded and misleading statement here on HN just the other day. But then again it's not my job to make such statements. When it is, I take more care than I do in this little box.

Why can't we ask for more?

Right: Among the things we need, good data is a biggie.

Part of that is what I've been addressing here: Test quality, especially for test results reported by the news media.
