Bad Data Is Worse Than No Data

Bad Data Is Worse Than No Data

Missing data forces you to state assumptions openly.

Bad data quietly contaminates everything downstream.

That’s why bad data is worse than no data.

No equation can rescue data you were unwilling to throw away.

Washouts, depth mismatch, standoff, junk curves — none of these crash software.
They just quietly invalidate results.

Deleting a curve feels uncomfortable.
It often feels unprofessional.

In reality, it’s usually the most professional decision you can make.
Clean workflows start by admitting the data is flawed.
Everything else depends on that honesty.
