I see your point. Data was never intended to be mandatorily harvested and managed from birth. For what is data but the awareness to a collection of random attributes of something. Garbage in.

The idea that these attributes should be managed by trusted-intemediaries is socially carcinogenic. The more you try to impose order, the more you create chaos. But we persist. We subliminally crave order.

If we must persist, we should have a ledger, not a printer, I guess.
