    I think the biggest problem that people have with the analysis of any size data is that they have some preconceived notion of what they want to see rather than what the data is telling them. It's why I frequently refer to BI as the world's greatest oxymoron. 😀

    I hear you say this a lot, Jeff, but I think that's what should happen. You should have some hypothesis as you look at the data...

    Yes but also try to disprove ones own hypothesis. Demonstrating a hypothesis is only as good as the attempts to disprove it.

    Also, as already said, analysis should not be limited to preconceived ideas.
