The question is whether anyone is actually interrogating the data in that way, not whether it can be interrogated. Large data-driven institutions are notorious for taking a narrow view of things.

The problem is precisely a lack of imagination, or perhaps more accurately, critical thought.

The parent is precisely engaged in the kind of interrogation that is necessary. If you are aware or an analysis that bears on his questions, now would be the time to share it.

This feels like sophistry to hinder progress. The OP is literally about studies done. Did you find problems with them? Or are you only imagining problems there could be?

The latter, which is why the actual studies would be most welcome.

But more to the point, there is a track record of narrow interpretation of studies and missing of the big picture. It’s hardly sophistry, it’s critical thought.

Is there a track record for this specific organization? Or there are a lot of publicly known tech companies that have missed the big picture?
