19. Problems with data sharing
Typical reasons why somebody’s data are not available:
Creative lies: e.g. “my hard disk crashed”.
Personal commitments: e.g. “exclusive agreement with X”.
Work in progress: I’d hate to be scooped with my own data.
Matter of trust: “others will misuse/over-interpret the data”.
It is a tough world: “why should I give it away?”.
Time commitment: “too much effort, no time”.
I will do this really soon…
