Third, it does not deal with using data previously collected by others using questionable techniques. (This relates to the first point). I note that, again, the larger community does not agree on this topic. (The medical community still uses data taken in concentration camps in the 1940s). But, at minimum, a recommendation to disclose that the data set is a subject of ethical concern makes sense.
