The raw data can be interpreted in many ways. What we have seen is one
interpretation.
Some may be interested in how many *humans* have already agreed because
they feel that the community is more important than the data. Others may
only be looking at the *data* because the thing they fear most is that
their local area of interest is adversely affected, no matter if the
data came from imports or humans.
A possible problem for those who are interested only in humans is that
we don't have a bot flag in the database so what's a bot and what not is
anybody's guess.
