A Florida state agency auditing group (OPPAGA) reported:
Best agency answer to data question: When asked to explain why its data
base showed that lab tests of water quality samples were completed
before the samples had even been collected, agency staff provided the
following memo:
Top 10 Reasons Why Data is Analyzed Before it is Collected
10. We practice Zen and the Art of Ground Water Sampling.
9. We can impress auditors that way.
8. We can tell whether collecting the sample will be worth our
time.
7. We get results much sooner this way.
6. It saves money.
5. It lets us know what type of sample we need to take.
4. We can notify the well owner that we have a hunch their well
should be tested.
3. Our lab has an incredible turn around time.
2. The lab transmits data faster than light speed, so it arrives
before it is sent.
1. Our computer's clock battery has been dead since 1992, so every
sample gets that creation date.
