“ Interviews have their flaws, of course — everybody lies, after all. But numbers have their flaws too. We need both. Without running the numbers, we can’t weed out the lies and urban myths. But without interviews, we get the facts without any real picture of why the facts are the way they are. And without that picture, it’s hard for people to really grasp what’s going on, let alone think of ways to change it.”
— Aaron Swartz
And with that my respect for Swartz as an intellectual is gone.
