#1 Instead, it appears to reflect a decision to distort government data collection to support explicitly political agendas.

Welcome to the Chicago Way(c).

Unfortunately, for those in power and position, that is what ultimately killed the Soviet Union. All the minions reported up the chain what the boys on top wanted to hear. When the collapse occurred it was a bleeding surprise to so many [including the CIA who were reading the same 'feel good' reports that the party were reading].
