I agree about the dangers of big data, what I was picking up on is the 
implication that there is such a thing as Hard Data i.e. data that is 
absolutely correct.

You know, or at least think you are, innocent. Sometimes you don't even 
know you have transgressed one of these new "anti terrorist" laws.

What worries me is when the spooks make a mistake based upon incorrect 
data or invalid conclusions drawn from ambiguous data. Given the agenda 
and powers of these folks, I'd like to think there was some sort of 
protection or at least avenue of protest.
