That made me think of a quote from Charles Babbage, arguably the inventor of the mechanical computer. I wonder if it was added intentionally as a reference:

> On two occasions I have been asked, — "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

– Charles Babbage in Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1864)

Low quality received, poor accuracy out.

Made me look up the origin of 'garbage in garbage out. Interesting that GIGO descends from LIFO and FIFO.

Why not do some math to fix it?
