What if it's not Neodome doring this

Definition of Garbage In, Garbage Out
Garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is a principle in computer science and data >processing. It states that the quality of output is determined by the quality of
input. If flawed or poor-quality data is input into a system, the resulting >output will also be flawed or of low quality.
Historical Context
The term "garbage in, garbage out" was first recorded in 1957, but it was >popularized by IBM programmer George Fuechsel in the early 1960s. He used it to
emphasize that computers process the data they are given; if that data is bad, >the results will be bad.
Applications of GIGO
GIGO is relevant in various fields, including:
Computer Science: Poor input data leads to incorrect program outputs.
Machine Learning: Models trained on biased or incomplete data yield biased
results.
Decision-Making: Inaccurate data can lead to poor decisions in business and
policy-making.
Types of Garbage Input
Common types of poor-quality input include:
Incorrect data (errors in data collection)
Incomplete data (missing information)
Outliers (data points that differ significantly from others)
Irrelevant data (not applicable to the situation)
Understanding GIGO is crucial for ensuring accurate and reliable outcomes in any
data-driven process.
