My point is (and has always been) that the word "reveals" is a misnomer given 
what's really happening...given what you've described in your post above.  
Again you've created a system into which you put the data, rather than 
demonstrate the validity of the system from the data.  

My complaint is that the system itself needs to be questioned, and isn't 
often enough.
