24. Maybe They Were Adjusted to a Fictional Data Set
but if they were adjusted at all, how do you know the data was fictional? Do you know how the weighting and reweighting were done? What the original source was based on where the new data came from. I don't, and I'm curious. I had some assumptions based on the kind of weightings I normally do, but they didn't seem to work out as well once I tried spelling out the process.

And as far as the addition 57 votes, I think everyone agrees that those are not the source of the changes. It's reweighting a base that's virtually identical.
