I want the summation from you, in your own words, so I know you understand the material.

Okey doke. Here's a summation in you own words, with one alteration.

1) Who supplies raw data?
2) What would this raw data be?
3) When would people have access to it?
4) Where would they go to get it?
5) How would they interpret it one way or another?
6) Why would they even consider such folly?
7) Raw data has no narrative.
8) Data is just data, it's not even information yet.
9) It only becomes information after statistical analysis.
10 ) That's probably graduate level [economics].
11) Most Americans don't even know [economics].
