User request: Make caveat clearer on stats page #329

...I had a look at your methodology. Really, it is very hit and miss, as you yourselves acknowledge in the caveat published on the methodology page.

I myself would not publish the "results" in the form that you have done, and it gives an inaccurate impression of how hard MPs work. Ranking them in such a fashion, based on such limited information, gives the data a weight they certainly do not deserve. [...]

At the very least you need to publish the caveat at the top of the page on which the "results" are recorded so that it is immediately in the mind of the readers.

But really, to publish at all with your so limited information undermines your reputation for credibility, which given your purpose and intent, is sadly damaging.
