Inadequate Quotes (1)
Errors using inadequate data are much less than those using no data at all.[?] Simplified restatement of another quotation by Babbage.
This seems to the webmaster to be derived from the sourced quotation: 'The errors which arise from the absence of facts are far more numerous and more durable than those which result from unsound reasoning respecting true data.' Although the simplified version is often see as a quote attributed to Babbage, the Webmaster has not yet found the short quote in a primary print source. [If you know a primary print source for Babbage making in his own words the shorter statement, please contact the webmaster.]
