1. The notes about checking the file type before really getting to work were helpful. Stuff like that always messes me up when I’m working in photoshop and having to figure out how to combine different types of images. I assume it’s sort of the same idea.
2. I’m glad that validity and integrity are important in these documents, but what about in situations where data is disagreed upon by multiple sources? I guess in situations like those, doing your own data would be best, so let’s take Spotlight for example. They didn’t get any super precise numbers if I remember right, but they did go through and tally up abusive priests per parish (that could be wrong, but you get the idea). So, did they have to explain their methods for finding the numbers or what? I guess I just don’t understand how you prove integrity.
