What’s more important is to have the original files to work with. pfd, png, jpg, dumbdiddlyd it won’t make it manipulatble (do not read changeable, but rather to have ability to be graphed and ranged compared against other results to get a better perspective of the data). The data we are reading is dumb data and not really interpolatable in the formats provided, it’s the truth without repercussion.

The most tested athlete of all time needs to compiled all the tests and have them released. that would prove his point. What’s so special about just 2009? Or would that cost him too much and test our credulity to beyond belief? Whatever the format of the material is published in is immaterial.
