But that is what intelligence gathering is. Sifting through data, some of which might conflict, to try to paint an overall picture.

Now really, the fact that my words were not intended to describe such a process is really irrelevant. Indeed, my main point was to suggest that the process is an inherently imperfect one. But why sweat the small stuff, eh?

So what were your words intending to describe or convey? Just meaningless nonsense?

But if by failing to go through the steps I came to an errant conclusion, correct it already! Otherwise, be a little more selective before you start pointing out other people's deficiencies to prove your own perceptiveness. But if you must, it would help if there is a point to it all!

 I agree, it would help if there is a point to it all. Your errant conclusion was that "intelligence gathering is, sifting through data... to try to paint an overall picture."
