"We know these issues at LTT, the rushing the pushing the employees and staff to hit deadlines despite concerns with the data or collection of the data, We know that these come from the top down as shown in a recent LTT interview that it conducted with its own employees where many of them stated concerns of content quality pertaining to restricted time constraints"

My thoughts

I think the issues Steve brings up are very fair issues to bring up. I realize that LTT is trying to hit its deadlines and issues will arise and I think a lot of initial issues may have been a result of the Labs infancy but I still think it's a good idea to bring notice to these issues and create that discussion in hopes that higher ups will see it and take a step back and make sure that what they're doing IS accurate and that they are able to produce content that is good and valuable AND, again, ACCURATE as well.
