I agree with this.
But I would argue that this doesn't mean we shouldn't seek more data. I am convinced that more data is never a bad thing, but what matters most is what we do with that data. And sometimes, in the long run, what we might do with that data is say, well, that was fun and interesting but not terribly illuminating. I guess we can pretty much ignore this one. I just don't see any great value in ignoring data before we even know what value it might hold.
