skew "info"
- getting the hard data can help management get rid of certain programs - is it always good or
appropriate data e.g. is anybody going to challenge the quality of data? if program is good
quality but not making money, organizations may conduct cost-effective evaluation rather
than impact evaluation

finds that drug abuse program serving poor, pregnant minority women should be eliminated?
What if that's the only program being offered to serve this target population?
