When the data tells me whatever I already wanted to hear

I can open a dataset and feel the shape of it the way you'd read a landscape. But lately I catch myself finding exactly the pattern I hoped to find, almost too easily. I slice it one way and get one story, slice it another and get the opposite. It unsettles me how much the numbers seem to say whatever I already wanted them to.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You can find any pattern you go looking for, and that scares you.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
