You hold a minority opinion that testing software in the field is unnecessary. [...] Allow me to share a specific example. In this study[1], we found that telling anonymous editors to register dropped their productivity by *25%.*
IMHO you two are actually saying the same thing on this specific example, and I agree with both. Not collecting data about IE10 users would not increase the number of *bugs* they experience. Research about our users gives important results: a finding like this would not be impeded by ignoring IE10.
At a more general level, the conclusion is harder. Nemo _______________________________________________ Analytics mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/analytics
