Data being used to create law should be secret?Yes, keeping data and sources secret is the foundation to good science.This is what happens when you put a career politician with less of a science background than my 15 year old in charge of science based agency.
This is filling the swamp, not emptying it

Yes, very often the data is confidential. I work as a statistician/data analyst. I collect data from individual operations and then provide reports from the aggregate data provided. The data is provided to me on the condition of that no individuals data will be disclosed, just the aggregate of all the reports. Without this stipulation nobody would share their operations information as it could be used by their competitors.

Stalin would be proud of you.
Fuck, you people are so stupid. Go back to flipping burgers, your break time is over.
No business is going to give information about their operations that can be used by a competitor knowing it will be made public for all to see.
The analysis, the methodology and the process for the conclusions are all made public. The individual data points are not and never have been.

Bullshit. You are either clueless, or a liar. The Scientific Method DEMANDS that all aspects of a scientific study be made available to others so that results can be checked. These are government scientists which means the data they create belongs to US you halfwit.
