Chrome!
Could not agree more.
There is nothing worse than using inaccurate info, be it from newspapers or databases.
With ********** data, not even the perfect method can work.

I use the same data source myself as that programme, but as you say, sometimes it needs a great deal of error corection. Being uncorrected raw data it is cheaper, but care must be taken to ascertain veracity, a bit hard if one is just the end user.
Good luck
