    Well, it's stupid to publish a dataset without knowing the meaning of what all columns or attributes are included. I'd expect better forethought from a healthcare organization knowing that the their data is potentially very patient-centric. When in doubt, leave it out.

    This is my thoughts exactly. I would say it's silly to think that anyone using a document database is all of a sudden unaware of what's going into the system or that document databases and the likes are naturally flawed or less secure because of this. Like it's some sort of problem with the technology more than the humans managing it. I mean, I get it. You are not defining a schema. But if you are giving people the power to do bad things, they will do it regardless of the system. I feel there is some extreme bias going on in this article and it sucks it exists here.
