Thanks for all this. Articulating why it’s important in a few words is incredibly difficult and something we’re always working on. The bottom line is that we believe public information should be easily accessible; hundreds of thousands of people are using this data currently, all over the country. We’re trying to make their lives easier. I’ll take your feedback and use it to make our stuff better.

That said, if you head to https://pdap.io you’ll find the most concrete explanation we have. It still needs to be clearer, but it’s more specific than the docs.
