| + | Most talks in [[:Category:Projects|Projects]] focus on a small section of possible variables to track and a few sturdy results, including those above. There are the "data dredging" or "fishing expedition" projects which try to track many different aspects of a person and give lots of little advice and can be very useful for exploratory work. |
