And the census civil servants, a small group of them, went ahead with it because they wanted to do it, not because there was any need. And disregarding the fact that it made the census inaccurate at the enumeration stage. They did it because they wanted to cook the books and they wanted to manipulate the data to have the outcome that we actually had, which is over counting people in six blue states or liberal states and giving them additional members in the House of Representatives. Is that fair? If I might respectfully disagree with that poor part, I believe it was done out of professional pride, because there was an obsession with using differential privacy. (04:19–04:34)
