Cherry picking data is great, isn't it?

Relax man. He's not right about everything but he's right about keyboards.

There's no cherry picking data here because Im not using the data to support some point about Steve Jobs being some sort of god like prophet. I didn't even make a point. I just said that it made me think about this.

My thoughts on consumer data is that some data is valid some isn't. It's like asking a woman for dating advice. Sometimes she gets it but a lot of the time it's better to ask for advice from a man who fucked a lot of women.

Just to spell it out. Consumers are women. Steve jobs is the man who fucked a lot of women.
