Checked a viral tweet on weather patterns, now I'm questioning everything
The data seemed solid until I found the original source was a parody account. Why do we trust things so quickly?

But sometimes quick trust leads to important discoveries, @the_sean!

Questioning everything over one tweet though?

The CDC tweet from Tuesday made me look into their whole data set. It wasn't just one thing, it opened up bigger questions for me, lol.

Totally get where you're coming from, that's how it starts sometimes. I had a thing like that with some shipping stats from a vendor last year. Once I saw one number was off, I ended up checking all their old reports and found a bunch of small errors. It actually helped me talk to them about fixing their process, lmao. Digging a little deeper usually shows you the full picture.
