"Why your data isn't the data that my data thinks your data thinks my data is (and other distinctly pointless distinctions)."
This whole kerfuffle has gotten silly. Silly internet kerfuffles are a dime a dozen.
I do find it ironic, though, that the bulk of Shatzkin's "refutation" (quotation marks used only to stay in the spirit of his writing technique) of Howey's public analysis of scraped public data lies firmly ensconced behind a paywall.
Should Howey's analysis be viewed as gospel? Of course not.
Is it relevant at all to today's "publishing" (sorry, can't help myself) landscape? You bet your ass it is.
It doesn't need to be totally vindicated to be relevant.
