	"I think that the myth in predictive modeling that I would like to dispel is that the more data that you have the better the model. This in general is true, but as always, if the data is garbage, then the corresponding model is garbage. Garbage in, garbage out. Those developing models must have a good understanding of the limitations of the data.” - David Howe, Co-Founder & CEO, LuminaCare Solutions Inc.
