Choosing what kind of data to expose or research can be political. Simply releasing data on the # of regulations is helpful for only certain kinds of discussions:<p>* Who pushed or repealed the most regulations<p>* Who regulated what<p>* Correlating # of regulations to market performance<p>These are not bad discussions to have but has the consequence of shifting the discussion further away from &quot;what makes a good regulation?&quot; towards &quot;how much regulation is too much?&quot;.<p>Data is data but it isn&#x27;t all the data. What we choose to look at frames the political discussion.
