    It's hugely frustrating when your results are questioned because they don't match what is expected or what somebody wants to see. I've recently been sending a lot of emails to the effect of 'your previous data was wrong because...' The other one we see a lot is 'this person wasn't on Report X, why not?' The usual answer is 'they're not supposed to be and you could have found that out yourself'.


    On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
