Title: "Data Is Wrong, Sibling Database to the Rescue"

Summary:

The comic strip features a conversation between two coworkers in an office setting. The first coworker, who is sitting at a desk, says, "Use the CRS database to size the market." The second coworker responds, "That data is wrong." The first coworker then suggests, "Then use the SIBS database." However, the second coworker points out, "That data is also wrong." The first coworker asks, "Can you average them?" The second coworker replies, "Sure. I can multiply them too."

Key Points:

• The use of multiple databases to try to find accurate information is explored.
• The idea of averaging or multiplying incorrect data is presented as a potential solution.
• The comic strip pokes fun at the common problem of working with flawed data in business settings.
