Here's something important I've observed in my experience in working with data, and changing organizations with ideas: Great Analysts are always skeptical. Deeply so. This was always true, of course.

Let’s have some straight talk about who is ruining Facebook and Twitter. Facebook. Embarrassing parents ruined Facebook. Sorry, but they did.
