Hey Militant Left, just because every question directed at you assumes you are an asshole, doesn't mean the same applies to questions to other people

Yes absolutely they can

You know the purpose of this is so they can use them without being tracked though, right? If it's easy to exclude outliers and bad data, it makes this suggestion pretty useless.

As people have suggested, there's almost no reason to ever have this data leave your own personal device or network. Women have tracked their periods for thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of years.

Nah they'll just say "weird. Guys, exclude November, it's an outlier".

This is data analysis, not development. Yes you can just exclude the problem month, average the previous and next months, and her real data starts to contribute again. And yes you can do that regardless of who is writing code. Or even that the code was written by your company and not some other company you bought or seized data from.

Bold of you to assume we didn't just pick up the newspaper in the shop, flick to the funnies, shake our heads at what Andy Cap was upto today, and then leg it before Mrs Murphy tried to get us to pay

Luckily the truth is pretty far in the middle.

Yeah cool Malcolm, it's been 30 years, you don't need to give this speech every time uses it as shorthand for "in the context of our continued survival on it".

I mean, sure, but this assumes that the killing is completely indiscriminate.

It is, but it's important that you're clear on that

Right, but what can they do, short of banning small bottles of water?

Punishment? No. To get exactly what they actively chose to make happen? Of course.

Interesting that you'd frame "consequences if their actions" as "punishment". Because punishment is usually a consequence of your actions, while not all consequences are punishment.
