"The data so far shows the values are close" is not the same thing as "the data so far is entirely noise and no signal", so I'm not quite following your argument here.
The values are much closer on the app than the original given the data set. Do we want a better data set? Yes, but so far it looks less like noise to me. Look, I'm in favor of your position here about slightly adjusting the factions, but given their point of view it makes more sense for them to do this whether we like it or not.
