The problem is your claim of conflict. Measurement of the government by the people can never be considered a conflict. If the data shows that the government, the CDE, failed to improve outcomes, that is just data. It is the opposite of a conflict. The CDE is required to improve outcomes: suppressing information that it failed to do so is antithetical to that outcome. The CDE needs this information to do its job, regardless of claims by PHBs to the contrary.
