That Dog Don't Hunt

This one goes right along with bootleg data.

Let's say you are in the middle of your MSA (measurement system analysis), and you are using a database that holds your average build time for a circuit board, the combobulator (the opposite of the discombobulator). This database was developed years ago and is the primary source of information for plant layout and process setup decisions. Of course it is made up of a super secret formula that Joe came up with six months before he left, and it has little to no useful documentation.

Now you are bringing me results based on this database reporting system, and telling me that your gauge passes with a Likert scale score of three by using the database a listening post? That dog don't hunt.
