This is great. STEM-types seem to link that with enough data, the Truth can be uncovered. This assumes that your data is meaningful, your analysis is unbiased, and that there is a truth to be had. I would encourage everyone to study some postmodernism, specifically Lacan and Žižek. They talk extensively on how our ideology and perception prevent us from ever truly discovering Reality.
The Hyperlogloglog bears a strong resemblance to Isaac Asimov's Multivac in the Last Question [1]. Where the question and the answer, the end and the beginning, are the same thing. Progress is not linear, but circular.
