And, I think, like much else that ought to be done,
knowledge of what raw data sets there were and preferably
access to the raw data. Otherwise one knows nothing about
what somebody decided to throw away. A lot of the gaps in
tenxcat are like this: was a star below some limiting
magnitude (oops - I mean above; you optical types measure
backwards) or was it not measured. It makes a big difference
to the statistics.
